Faith No More will reunite…just not in the U.S.
Let’s play, “Who’s Reuniting?”
Clue #1: This band hails from San Francisco, California.
Clue #2: This band released six studio albums during its 15+ year existence.
Clue #3: This band’s former frontman is currently touring with a beatboxer.
The Answer?
Yes, according to Mike Patton’s publicist, the legendary metal heads will reunite for a summer tour. The only catch? You’ll have to head to Europe to take part. Per The Tripwire:
As confirmed tonight by his label and publicist, Mike Patton has announced that Faith No More will be reuniting for a European summer tour. While no other info has been given, we’ve been told that the tour will only take place in Europe, the dates are “to come” and there are absolutely no plans to tour the States.
While Patton had been insistent that no reunion would take place, he appeared to soften his stance recently, saying in an interview with the Artisan News Service that he “wouldn’t rule anything out.” Faith No More last performed together in Lisbon on April 7, 1998.
Specific information pertaining to the touring lineup and tour dates are still forthcoming - an appearance at this year’s Download Festival is heavily rumored. Until then, Patton still has a few engagements to attend to, like the aforementioned solo dates and some face time on the silver screen.

Cool, Faith No More played Rock Werchter a few years ago. Same day as Metallica. Metallica is playing 2009. This would be sooo cool!!!
Damn another band, that I wanted to see but won’t.
Whoohoo, I hope they do Rock Werchter!
These punks better make it to the US sooner rather than later. There are few reunions I want to see. I also never had the chance to see them, but they were my favorite band sometime around 8th grade.
that sucks that there are no plans for north america. i missed them back in the day and was hoping to see them.
