They may have had their support act missing (for a time) and it may have appeared that they had to finish a tad early to accommodate it. But the Red Hot Chili Peppers - when they were on stage - did anything but let their adoring fans down after six years in the UK wilderness.
The gig started off on a somewhat contentious note when support act, A$AP Rocky, was delayed until after the main act due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’ (which was never elaborated on), and ended up playing after the Chilis. It appeared to those in attendance that the delay forced him to controversially eat into the Chilis' stage time by appearing at 10pm - 15 minutes before the band's scheduled finish. But when the band were on the stage, all of that was quickly shoved to the back of everyone's minds.
