According to the Met Office, RHCP's gig at Emirates Old Trafford is set to be a scorcher with highs of 24 degrees and lows of 15 degrees. It's going to be dry, but those who suffer from hayfever should be warned that there's an extremely high pollen count. Plus, you'd do well to slather on some suncream because UV levels will also be high.
Judging by previous setlists so far, RHCP will treat their fans to classics from across their career, choosing to focus on the songs returning guitarist Josh Frusciante had a hand in.
See their setlist from their gig at Barcelona's Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on 7th June:
Encore:
17. Under the Bridge
