Faith No More Reunite With Guitarist Trey Spruance For 2027 Tour
The post Faith No More Reunite With Guitarist Trey Spruance For 2027 Tour appeared first on Stereogum .
In 2027, the great metal experimenters Faith No More will head out on their first tour in 11 years, and now we know exactly who will be in the band. Guitarist Trey Spruance, co-founder of Mike Patton's other long-running band Mr. Bungle, is back in, and their lineup is set.
Spruance first joined Faith No More after founding member Jim Martin split with the band in 1993. He played on 1995's King For A Day... Fool For A Lifetime , their last album before their initial breakup, though left as soon as the album was done and didn't play with them on that tour. When Faith No More got back together in 2009, Spruance wasn't a part of the band. Instead, Jon Hudson, the other guitarist who played with the band in their final years, filled that role, though Spruance did return for a 2011 performance of the King For A Day album.
Jon Hudson apparently isn't in Faith No More anymore. Instead, they're touring with the lineup of Spruance, Mike Patton, Roddy Bottum, Billy Gould, and Mike Bordin. After years of internal discord, the band teased a 2027 reunion back in June, then confirmed it when they announced a run of shows in Australia and New Zealand. Since then, Faith No More have announced a Brazil stadium show and a series of appearances at big rock festival. Most of those fests are in Europe, but they'll also play Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple in the US. Check out all of the tour dates that they've announced below.
