Europe and the UK… Apologies to all who have bought tickets and have been kept waiting, but there is so much uncertainty at the moment. We’re not happy about this but due to the current health situation there is no way we will be able to perform these shows scheduled for June/July. We will reschedule…. as we plan on finishing what we started. We’ll see you in 2021. xoxo Billy, Jon, Mike B, Mike P, & Roddy

Faith No More’s performances with System of a Down, originally slated for May 21 and 22 have also been rescheduled for May 22 and 23 at Los Angeles’ Banc of California Stadium. The platinum selling band’s North American Summer tour dates will be announced sooner than later, but right now a big focus lies in making sure their crew receive a bit of financial help during this time.

“There’s been plenty of attention about the collapse of the concert industry, how it has been impacitng musicians, artists, agents . . . but very little coverage has focused on the impact it’s made on a crucial element of live music and touring: the crew,” said Faith No More Bassist Bill Gould. “Without a band’s crew, the show does not go on; yet, in light of the recent postponements, they have been left with few options to support themselves, or their families. And speaking of families, the band that you know as Faith No More is more than the five musicians you see on stage.”

“It is a larger family, an ecosystem, that includes backline, a production manager, lighting, sound and tour management,” added Gould. “We had an entire summer of touring booked – and now, as a result of this pandemic, all of our crew have been put into a seriously vulnerable financial position. We have been working with these folks for years, and we feel very close to them. Since shows are not an option, we are trying to do what we can to offset this unfortunate turn of events with a special merch sale.”

A Faith No More logo mask, autographed vinyl copies of the group’s 2015 album Sol Invictus, show used drumheads from the band’s 2015 tour, gig posters, and an exclusive limited T-shirt design are among the merch available via their official site.
