Faith No More<\/a> are potentially teasing a live comeback for next year.<\/p>\n

Earlier today (June 16), the California alt-metal mavericks posted an image to their social media channels, which featured their logo and \u201c2027\u201d super-imposed over a picture of a live crowd.<\/p>\n

The five-piece haven\u2019t performed onstage together since the end of the tour cycle for their Sol Invictus album in 2016. A live comeback was booked for 2020, but then postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The rescheduled dates were scrapped altogether after frontman Mike Patton said he struggled with his mental health during the lockdowns.<\/p>\n

Regarded as one of the most creative and inspirational bands of the late 80s and early 90s, Faith No More formed in 1979 and scored their first chart hit nine years later with the single Epic. The track \u2013 taken from 1989\u2019s The Real Thing, the band\u2019s first album to feature Patton \u2013 reached number nine in the US before being certified Platinum in Australia and Gold in America.<\/p>\n

The lineup split for 11 years in 1998 but their influence endured. Many chart-topping and Platinum-selling artists who defined the turn-of-the-millennium nu metal movement \u2013 including Slipknot<\/a>, Korn<\/a> and Limp Bizkit<\/a> \u2013 are professed fans of their work. Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has said that watching Faith No More play the MTV Video Music Awards in 1990, shortly after he attempted suicide, re-inspired him to write music.<\/p>\n

Faith No More reunited in 2009 and embarked upon a successful comeback tour, including a headline spot at Download festival in Donington that June. Following the start of their unofficial hiatus in 2016, members committed themselves to other musical projects, with Patton also being the frontman of thrashers Mr Bungle, grindcore supergroup Dead Cross and rockers Tomahawk.<\/p>\n

Until the new image, the prospect of a Faith No More reunion in the near-future seemed unlikely. Patton said this February that the band felt an unspoken \u201csense of closure\u201d during their 2016 dates. Keyboardist Roddy Bottum said in 2025 that the members were in a \u201creally weird spot\u201d and uncertain about the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to believe me, but there\u2019s nothing [to say],\u201d he told Chile\u2019s Radio Futuro (via NME<\/a>). \u201cRight now we\u2019re in a really weird spot, a really strange spot, and I can\u2019t really tell you what\u2019s going on. I don\u2019t know myself. I get different information from people\u2026 and I\u2019m in the band.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drummer Mike Bordin said the same year that Patton had gone from being \u201cunable\u201d to do Faith No More shows to \u201cunwilling\u201d, due to his commitment to Mr Bungle.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we pull these shows and just wait to see,\u201d he told the Let The Be Talk podcast, referencing the scrapped 2020 tour. \u201cHopefully things are better, and try to find out what we can around the edges. But ultimately shows started to get booked with another band, and that\u2019s continued to this day \u2026 And we haven\u2019t really had much dialogue on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patton will tour North America with Tomahawk this summer, but none of his other projects have any live plans announced at time of publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Faith No More are potentially teasing a live comeback for next year.
