After all the angst over the European tour, it seems that Faith No More do after all have plans for more US shows. Both Bill Gould and Roddy Bottum have tweeted that they will play the Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn on 5 July.
Roddy’s tweet:
RODDYBOTTUM FNM play NY!!!! Williamsburg Waterfront, Brooklyn, July 5! special presale March 16/10amET, we’ll tweet a special password that morning.

Bill has clarified that the pre-sale will be on 16 March at 10am ET.

The New York Times is already blogging the story and they have general ticket sales details: “Tickets for the concert, which is being held as a benefit for the Open Space Alliance, will go on sale at noon on March 19 at ticketmaster.com and the Nokia Theatre Times Square box office.”

The Gurtenfestival in Bern has just confirmed that Faith No More will headline their July festival. Faith No More will play on Friday 16 July, alongside The Gossip and Rodrigo y Gabriela. FNM 2.0 is very pleased about this as Bern is only 90 minutes down the motorway; still hoping they play Paleo the following week though.

The Dour Festival in Belgium has announced that Faith No More will headline the July festival. The rest of the line-up is mostly electro and dance. More details at Dour Festival.
FNM will play on Thursday 15 July.

Four-day tickets are now on sale and one-day sales start on 15 July. Full details here.
The fact that Faith No More ca headline this electro-orientated festival and also Sonisphere – featuring Megadeth, Rammstein and Slayer – really shows the mass cross-genre appeal of the band.

As we speculated earlier, Faith No More will play the Bilbao BBK Live festival in Spain on Saturday 10 July.

The festival organisers confirmed FNM as headliners this evening, with the Manic Street Preachers and Jet as support. Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains play on the Friday with Rammstein, Slayer and Skunk Anansie on the Friday.

And there’s more! The Optimus Alive festival has just confirmed that Faith No More will play at the event in Portugal on 8 July. More details here.
Day tickets on sale here. FNM will be joined on the Thursday bill by Alice in Chains, Phoenix and Kasabian while Pearl Jam highlight the Saturday date. The festival takes place in Oeiras in the greater Lisbon area.

The reunion goes on.  Faith No More will return to Europe in July 2010 when they play the Sonisphere festival in Getafe, Spain (13km south of Madrid). The festival is scheduled for 9 and 10 July and joining FNM will be Rammstein, Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Slayer and many more. No day by day breakdown as yet but tickets will go on sale on 8 March.

There is a string of Sonisphere dates across Europe this summer, many with Metallica headlining. Comparing to the lineup of the Switzerland Sonisphere I’m going to in June, FNM and Rammstein are effectively replacing Metallica.

Faith No More played their penultimate Australian date in Adelaide on 27 February. Local news site Adelaide Now were full of praise in a pun-tastic review. Sample quote: “While the classics like Midlife Crisis and Epic got an airing, the really impressive songs were those that allowed Patton to show off his vocal range – in particular the early classic Chinese Arithmetic, Stripsearch and a relentlessly brutal Gentle Art of Making Enemies.”

Mike Patton also joked about Twitter apparently, perhaps piqued that his member has been circulating round the Twittersphere over the past few days.
There are already some cracking photos up on Flickr. None more so than those from Amped photography.

More details as we have them.
