Faith No More’s Long Touring Layoff Explained
Faith No More’s history is marked by starts, stops, and notable reunions. The band famously disbanded in 1998 just before embarking on a tour with Aerosmith, as members pursued various projects. They reunited in 2009 for The Second Coming Tour, performing sporadically from 2010 to 2013.
Vocalist Mike Patton shifted his focus to his band Tomahawk, leading to another hiatus for Faith No More. Their return in 2014 was celebrated with a series of performances, and they released their last studio album, Sol Invictus, in 2015. The subsequent tour that year marked their final shows with Patton.
In 2016, the band played a couple of shows featuring Chuck Mosley, Patton’s predecessor, to commemorate the re-release of their 1985 album We Care A Lot. Multiple attempts at reunions with Patton since then were thwarted, including a planned 2020 co-headlining tour with Korn that was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recently, Pollstar reported that Faith No More signed a global touring agreement with Brazilian promoter 30e, which hinted at the possibility of this long-awaited reunion. Notably, System of a Down has also entered into a similar agreement.
Conclusion
With the announcement of their 2027 tour alongside System of a Down, Faith No More fans have much to look forward to. Their storied history and impactful music have left a lasting legacy, and this reunion promises to reignite the energy and passion that the band is known for. As fans eagerly await the ticket sales, the excitement for Faith No More’s return is palpable.
