The By The Way rockers first shared their plans to visit the globe last month with a skit, which saw them parody American news stations.

Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea played news anchors in the 'KHOT News Room' as their drummer Chad Smith played the role of cheesy weatherman.

It was of course the band's returning guitarist, Frusciante, who played himself and confirmed that the band would be visiting the globe next year.

The band also shared the video on the 30th anniversary of their seminal album, Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik, which included their classic tracks Suck My Kiss, Give It Away and Under The Bridge.

Watch their announcement here:

The tour will be huge news to long-time fans of the band, who have been waiting to Frusciante perform with Kiedis, Flea and Chad Smith ever since they announced his return back in December last year.

Taking to Flea's official Instagram account to share the news at the time, they wrote: "The Red Hot Chili Peppers announce that we are parting ways with our guitarist of the past ten years, Josh Klinghoffer. Josh is a beautiful musician who we respect and love. We are deeply grateful for our time with him, and the countless gifts he shared with us.

"We also announce with great excitement and full hearts, that John Frusciante is rejoining our group".
