If you’ve ever wondered what warms the heart of a rock star before they face the roaring crowd, the answer might be softer and more snuggly than you’d expect. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, known for their energetic performances, found their pre-show zen in the gentle embrace of puppies — yes, puppies — at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater. This wasn’t just a random act of cuteness; it was a full-on Snuggle Lounge orchestrated by Nuzzles & Co, turning a typical Wednesday into a furry fiesta of cuddles and tail wags. As the band readied themselves to take the stage, they paused to dip into some puppy love, proving that sometimes, the wildest rock hearts beat to the softest drum of paws against their chests.
