Faith No More Are Finally Reuniting in 2027
What's happening
Faith No More is officially reuniting for live performances in 2027 after more than a decade away from the stage. The legendary band will kick off their return with shows in Australia and New Zealand.
Who's involved
Faith No More is an influential alternative metal band that formed in 1979 and achieved major success in the late 1980s and 1990s with their genre-blending sound and theatrical performances. The reunited lineup will feature the classic-era members who defined the band's most iconic era.
Why it matters
This reunion fulfills a long-awaited wish for devoted fans who have endured multiple false starts and canceled shows over the years. The return signals confidence in the touring market for legacy acts and gives fans a rare chance to experience one of alternative metal's most innovative bands live.
More context
Faith No More broke up in 1998, reunited briefly in 2009, and released a new album in 2015, but live performances have been sporadic and frequently postponed. The band has dealt with numerous scheduling conflicts, health issues, and logistical challenges that repeatedly derailed reunion plans. Their last substantial tour activity was limited, making the commitment to a multi-city run particularly significant. The announcement comes as aging alternative metal and hard rock bands are increasingly returning to the stage, tapping into nostalgia while their core fanbase remains active and willing to travel for shows.
