Chad Smith

RED Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith will treat Melbourne fans to a once-in-a-lifetime gig at Federation Square tomorrow.
A secret special guest is expected to join Smith on the main stage from 6.30pm.

Smith, considered the world’s best rock drummer, will let loose live with a 30-minute classical extravaganza — his inspired interpretation of Mozart.


Fans are urged to get to Federation Square early to avoid missing out on the show.

The performance will be reminiscent of U2’s famous Where The Streets Have No Name video atop the Million Dollar Hotel in Los Angeles, which stopped traffic.

If you can’t make it to the concert, log on to the Herald Sun online to see Smith’s performance.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have an affinity with Melbourne — bass guitarist « Flea » was born here.

Smith and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are in Melbourne for three sold-out shows at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, ending tomorrow.
