Things the Red Hot Chili Peppers love: California, tube socks and, apparently, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

On February 5, Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer will take to the stage at the Theatre at Ace Hotel for a special "Feel the Bern" concert. While we can't promise that the band will replace all overly enunciated mentions of "California" with "Bernie Sanders," we can confirm a "people-powered performance with special guests." Though there's no mention of whether the candidate himself will make an appearance.

Tickets start at $40, which will get you into the back of the orchestra or balcony, but front row seats run as much as $2,000. Since tickets are technically campaign contributions, you'll need to meet a few simple requirements, like being a US citizen, at least 18 years old and not a federal contractor—sorry, federal contractors.
