Tomahawk Reunite For First Show In 13 Years
Tomahawk, the experimental rock supergroup fronted by Mike Patton, played their first live show in 13 years at Nashville's Brooklyn Bowl on 18 July 2026. The gig marks a long-delayed return for the band, whose 2021 album Tonic Immobility had never been toured due to the pandemic and a subsequently cancelled festival slot, and comes as anticipation builds around Patton's other band, Faith No More, who are set to play their own first shows in over a decade in 2027.
The setlist drew from across the band's catalogue, excluding 2007's Anonymous, and leaned heavily on Tonic Immobility material being performed live for the first time, alongside a cover of Duane Eddy's 1958 track "Stalkin'" and a closing rendition of their signature song "God Hates A Coward". Tomahawk, completed by guitarist Duane Denison, bassist Trevor Dunn and drummer John Stanier, are now touring the US with Melvins under the title "A Huge Waste Of Your Time And Money Tour", running through mid-August.
In short
- Tomahawk played their first show since 2013 in Nashville
- New tour with Melvins runs through mid-August 2026
- Faith No More set to reunite for shows in 2027
Explained simply
Tomahawk is an experimental rock band led by vocalist Mike Patton, who is also known for his work with other groups. The band comprises Patton, guitarist Duane Denison, bassist Trevor Dunn, and drummer John Stanier, and creates unconventional rock music that blends various musical influences.
The group has been inactive on stage for thirteen years. They released an album called Tonic Immobility in 2021, but pandemic disruptions and a cancelled festival slot meant the record was never toured. This reunion gives them the opportunity to perform these newer songs live for the first time, alongside material from earlier in their career.
Patton is also a member of Faith No More, another influential rock band, which will return to live performances for the first time in over a decade during 2027. After such a prolonged absence from touring, Tomahawk's return represents a notable moment for fans of experimental rock music.
