Faith No More Reunite
Faith No More is returning to the stage. The band announced four stadium dates in Australia and New Zealand for early 2026. This marks their first live appearances in a decade, with System of a Down joining them as co-headliners for the run.
Fans have waited years for this announcement. The group previously planned a return in 2020 and 2021, but those dates were canceled due to the pandemic and subsequent health concerns for lead singer Mike Patton. Since then, the members have stayed active with various projects, including Dead Cross, Mr. Bungle, and Tomahawk. Despite previous comments from band members describing their status as a semi-permanent hiatus, the confirmed schedule suggests a real return to touring activity.
The brief tour begins in Sydney on January 22, 2026, followed by stops in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Wellington. While these four stadium shows are the only dates announced for now, the response from the fan base has been high, leading to speculation about whether the tour will expand to other regions.
Faith No More continues to operate with a reputation for being unpredictable. From their formation and high-profile split in 1998 to their sporadic reunions in 2009 and 2015, the group remains a significant force in rock music. Their return to the stadium circuit alongside System of a Down represents one of the most anticipated live music events for the coming year.
