by Shiryn Ghermezian
The Red Hot Chili Peppers will headline the Funkyard Tel Aviv Festival at Hayarkon Park on June 10, it was recently announced.
Tickets for the day-long urban music festival were to go on sale on Monday.
The veteran rock band will perform with guitarist John Frusicante, who is returning to the group for a second time, replacing Josh Klinghoffer, who had been with the Red Hot Chili Peppers for over a decade.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers last performed in Israel in 2012, when they sold more than 50,000 tickets.
A scheduled performance in Israel in 2001 was canceled due to security reasons during the Second Intifada.
