Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Big Day Out is one of Australia’s longest running music festivals, this year boasting its 21st anniversary with headliner act and long-time Sea Shepherd supporters, the legendary Red Hot Chili Peppers. In front of a sold-out crowd of approximately 50,000 punters in Sydney, and a near capacity crowd of almost 40,000 on the Gold Coast, the Red Hot Chili Peppers showed their steadfast support for Sea Shepherd – literally. Utilising massive, on-stage digital screens, the Chilis displayed Sea Shepherd imagery in a pre-performance visual show on the Big Day Out main stage. The visuals included Sea Shepherd logos and campaign images, as well as a call out from the band that read: “PLEASE SUPPORT OUR FRIENDS AT SEA SHEPHERD.”
