Faith No More have announced their first live shows in more than a decade, confirming a run of four dates across Australia and New Zealand in early 2027. It marks the influential rock band's return to the stage for the first time since 2016, and their first shows with vocalist Mike Patton since 2015, ending years of speculation over whether they would perform together again.

The band last played live in August 2016 at two benefit shows with former singer Chuck Mosley marking the anniversary of their debut album "We Care A Lot," while Patton's last appearance with the group was at the Troubadour in Los Angeles in September 2015 in support of "Sol Invictus." They will be joined by System Of A Down for the run, which takes in Sydney's Accor Stadium (22 January), Melbourne's Marvel Stadium (27 January), Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium (1 February) and Wellington's HNRY Stadium (7 February).
