Event Details:

The 151-show Getaway tour romped across four continents. The 2017 gigs were the first where Rat Sound founder Dave Rat, who mixed FOH for the band since 1991, passed the faders to new RHCP FOH engineer Sean “Sully” Sullivan, who had previously worked with artists including Beck, Rihanna, Beastie Boys and Atoms for Peace.
