Los Angeles' own RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS will help kick off the Rams' inaugural season back home in Southern California with a performance prior to the historic home opener at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Sunday, September 18. The pregame performance leads into the Rams hosting the Seattle Seahawks during the first NFL game in Los Angeles in 22 years (FOX 11/KTTV, 1:05 PM PT).
"Since I was a little boy, I've taken joy in the beauty of the Rams. When I moved to Los Angeles in 1972, I was getting uprooted from my home and I thought, 'Well, where I'm going they've got the Rams. It's going to be all right,'" said Flea.
Red Hot Chili Peppers' new album The Getaway debuted at #1 on the Billboard Album Sales Chart and at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 upon its release in June. The Getaway marks the Grammy Award-winning band's seventh top 10 album and third #2 on the Top 200 Chart. The album debuted at #1 in Australia, Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands, and New Zealand and at #2 in the United
Kingdom and Germany. The Getaway was produced by Danger Mouse and mixed by Nigel Godrich.
The album was praised by Rolling Stone: "top-shelf modern-rock splendor", People: "their best album in ages", USA Today: "...proves not only that the longtime rockers still sizzle 30 years in, but also are capable of victoriously revamping their sound", and many more.

Coliseum open at 11:00 AM PT and fans should be in their seats 30-minutes prior to kickoff to see the
