Faith No MoreAmerican rockers Faith No More seem to be gearing up for a 2027 reunion.
This morning (17 June), the band uploaded a photo to their social media accounts showing the year 2027 printed large before an ecstatic, cheering crowd.
No caption, no “we’re going back on tour after more than ten years.” However, the image says plenty. Check it out below.
Additionally, Pollstar reports that Faith No More has signed a new global touring deal with Brazilian promoter 30e.
The promoter has been labelled the “strategic and operational hub” for the band’s future tours and will reportedly utilise “market insights, data, marketing and infrastructure” to plan those journeys. WME, the agency that represents Faith No More on a global scale, was reportedly “instrumental” in the deal.
Faith No More signing with 30e follows System of a Down inking a similar deal earlier this year, following a highly successful South American stadium tour last year.
“30e feels like a company that wants to dent into the status quo, and as artists, we understand the value of that,” the group said. “Their approach doesn’t feel like the usual machinery; it feels like it’s coming from a different place, with a different kind of energy, and we are willing to get behind that.”
Over the last decade, Faith No More have been on hiatus, following the release of their comeback album, Sol Invictus, in 2015. Their most recent live shows took place in 2016, and several tour cancellations followed.

As NME notes, the band were set to tour again in 2020 – including in Australia – but the dates were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. More tour plans were announced in 2021, which were cancelled, as frontman Mike Patton revealed that he’d been diagnosed with agoraphobia.
Faith No More were scheduled to return to Australia in 2022 after being forced to postpone the tour twice. That tour was cancelled. “Unfortunately, due to our current challenges, we aren’t going to be ready to perform for the upcoming Australian, New Zealand and European tours,” the band said.
“To play at anything less than 100% after so long is not an option for us. We apologise to all of you ticket holders and are forever grateful to our fans for your support and understanding.”
Faith No More were last in Australia in 2015, performing at Soundwave Festival, but haven’t played their own headline tour in the country since 1997.
