Spotted: The Red Hot Chili Peppers Waterfront Stage

Spotted at the Beirut Waterfront this morning: the stage is almost set for what’s sure to be an epic concert by American rockers, the Red Hot Chili Peppers on Thursday.

The event has already stirred some controversy, with local activists calling on Lebanese band Mashrou’ Leila to pull out as the opening act for RHCP because the group is set to perform in Israel next week.
