✱Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute band
Book a Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute band
Looking for a band that plays Give It Away, Californication and Can’t Stop live? De Peppers come from North Brabant in the Netherlands and play the Red Hot Chili Peppers at festivals, in bars and at parties.
What you book
Four musicians, each playing the part of one Pepper. Daan sings what Anthony Kiedis sings, from the raps in Give It Away to the whispered verses of By the Way. Mark plays John Frusciante’s guitar and sings harmonies. Tom plays Flea’s slap and funk lines. Jan plays Chad Smith’s drum parts.
We bring our own mixing desk and build the setlist with you: the hits everyone sings along to, and for a room full of fans, songs like Parallel Universe or Suck My Kiss. Read more about the band or browse our repertoire.
Cover band or tribute band?
A cover band plays songs by all sorts of artists. A tribute band picks one band and plays it as close to the original as it can. De Peppers are a tribute band: the solos and bass lines as you know them, and room for a jam the way the Red Hot Chili Peppers play live. So you know in advance what music you’re getting.

Questions we often get
Are you the real Red Hot Chili Peppers?
No. De Peppers are a tribute band from North Brabant in the Netherlands. We play the music of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as a tribute and have nothing to do with the band or their management.
What does a show cost?
That depends on the date, the venue, the set length and the sound. Our page on what a tribute band costs explains what goes into the price. For a figure, send a request.
Which songs do you play?
Give It Away, Under the Bridge, Californication, Scar Tissue, By the Way, Can’t Stop, Dani California and Snow (Hey Oh) are in the standard set. You pick the rest from our repertoire.
Do you play outside Brabant?
We’re based in North Brabant. Tell us in your request where the event is, and we’ll see if we can make it.
Can we request a song?
You choose from our repertoire. Missing a song? Ask us. For parties we work with a must-play and a do-not-play list.
