Faith No More Australian Tour

One of music's most influential and commanding bands, Faith No More, will tour Australia and New Zealand in May 2020. On what will be their first Australian headline tour since 1997, and their first international gigs worldwide since 2015, the Californian five-piece will perform their biggest venues ever down under.

"Faith No More has taken many twists and turns over the years, and both Australia and New Zealand have been with us every step of the way; this is something that we have always appreciated. Nevertheless, we realise that it's been 20 years since our last proper tour there. If we wait another 20, we'll be in our 70s. This shit stops now!" - Bill Gould, Faith No More

'Epic', 'Falling To Pieces', 'Ashes To Ashes', 'Easy', 'Midlife Crisis', 'War Pigs', 'Digging The Grave', 'Sunny Side Up'... Faith No More's pioneering, genre-defining career saw the band morph from cult underground heroes to boundary-pushing global chart-toppers, mixing metal to alt-rock to hip-hop to punk and much, much more.

Faith No More is Mike Bordin (drums), Roddy Bottum (keyboards), Bill Gould (bass), Jon Hudson (guitar), and Mike Patton (vocals). They have released seven studio albums to date: 'We Care A Lot' (1985), 'Introduce Yourself' (1987), 'The Real Thing' (1989), 'Angel Dust' (1992), 'King For A Day… Fool For A Lifetime' (1995), 'Album of the Year' (1997) and 'Sol Invictus' (2015).

Performing at all shows as special guests are Melbourne band RVG, who'll return this year with a follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2017 debut, 'A Quality of Mercy'. The first taste of new music came mid-2019 in roaring single 'Alexandra', produced by Victor van Vugt (PJ Harvey, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Beth Orton, The Triffids). The band headed to UK & Europe with Sleaford Mods and Tropical F*^k Storm not long after. From performances at SXSW, Roskilde and Meredith Music Festival and shows with the likes of Shame, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Kurt Vile and Future Islands, RVG have made huge strides at home and beyond.

Lending their support following Australia's bushfire crisis, Faith No More will be donating $1 (plus GST) from each ticket sold across the AU/NZ dates to Animals Australia, and state fire services in affected areas, including: NSW Rural Fire Service, Country Fire Association VIC, SA Country Fire Service, Rural Fire Brigades Association QLD. Last month, FNM announced all proceeds of their upcoming Manchester, UK gig in June will also benefit Aussie charities.
