Red Hot Chili Peppers concert chronology

The Freaky Styley Tour (also known as the Infinity Tour) was a concert tour by Red Hot Chili Peppers to support their second studio album Freaky Styley. The album and tour saw the return of founding member and guitarist, Hillel Slovak. In the spring of 1986 while still on tour, the band started work on their next album, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan however by this time drummer Cliff Martinez felt he no longer had the heart to continue with the band but instead of quitting, Kiedis and Flea fired him. Martinez was quickly replaced by founding member Jack Irons who joined the band to complete the Freaky Styley tour and record their third album. This was the first time since 1983 when the original lineup of the band toured together. During the tour, both singer Anthony Keidis and Slovak developed severe drug problems and following the tour, drug problems for Kiedis were so bad that he was briefly fired from the band and given a month to rehabilitate. The tour saw the band open for a few notable artists at the time such as Run DMC, The Alarm and X. The band also featured two up and coming groups, Guns N' Roses and Beastie Boys as their openers for a few dates on this tour. Over 25 years later the three groups were inducted into the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame together.

The music video for the band's single, "Jungle Man" was shot during various tourdates.
