Live at Slane Castle is a 2003 Red Hot Chili Peppers concert video released on November 17, 2003. It captures the band’s August 23, 2003 show at Slane Castle in Ireland, their first headlining performance at the venue. About 80,000 fans attended, with tickets selling out in under a couple of hours. Foo Fighters and several other acts, including Queens of the Stone Age, PJ Harvey, Feeder, Morcheeba, and more, supported the concert.
