Faith No More Set To Play First Shows In Over A Decade On Australian Tour With System Of A Down

Faith No More have just announced their first official shows in over a decade after teasing their 2027 return back in June! The band is set to hit the road with System Of A Down in Australia and New Zealand early next year marking their first live shows since 2016.

The two bands are scheduled to perform at Accor Stadium on January 22 in Sydney, at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on January 27 and at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on February 1 before closing the brief trek with a show at Hnry Stadium in Wellington on February 7. Presales will begin on Tuesday, July 28 while the general public sale is set to start on Friday, July 31.

No further tour dates have been revealed for Faith No More as of publication time. Back in 2021, the band had announced fall trek in the U.S. but ended up canceling a few days before kick off. In a statement posted on social media, the remaining members expressed their concern for frontman Mike Patton’s mental health and wellbeing. Patton explained in later interviews that he had been diagnosed with agoraphobia and developed an alcohol use disorder during the pandemic. While Patton remained on hiatus from Faith No More, he found other musical projects to work on including Dead Cross’ second studio album, live shows with Mr. Bungle and AVTT/PTTN, a brand new collaboration with The Avett Brothers.
