iPod owning fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers can hear the band's new album, Stadium Arcadium, at iTunes Listening Parties around the UK (well, England, but we didn't want the Scots and Welsh to feel left out).

They're taking place in six Apple Retail stores (including Chav central at Bluewater) on Tuesday 2 May at 6.30pm. This is a week before its release, and you'll also get a free iTunes song card to download the group's first single from the album, Dani California.

The full list of Apple venues is:
Bullring (Birmingham), Brent Cross (London), Trafford Centre (Manchester), Bluewater (Kent), Regent Street (London), Meadowhall (Sheffield)
