FOLLOWING some less-than-subtle hints spread around Sydney and Melbourne in recent days, Faith No More and System Of A Down will return to Australia together in January.
The east coast stadium dates by two of the nineties’ most influential heavy rock artists were announced early this morning, with pre-sales available now.
The announcement follows intense anticipation after Faith No More reactivated and Billy Gould promised the band would return to Australia back in June.
Faith No More’s previous Down Under touring plans fell apart in 2021 when singer Mike Patton revealed issues with his mental health and cancelled all the band’s shows.
These will be FNM’s first shows since 2016.
After the cancelled shows, Patton returned to Mr Bungle, drummer Mike Bordin saying he did not think the vocalist wanted to play with FNM while keyboardist Roddy Bottom said he didn’t “think anyone’s sort of up for [a reunion] at this point”.
