UPDATE: Faith No More to play Maquinaria festival in Chile?
UPDATE: The Maquinaria site has now added Faith No More to its lineup page so this looks like a done deal.
The normally spot-on La Tercera newspaper in Chile is reporting that Faith No More will indeed play the Maquinaria festival in Santiago on 12 and 13 November at the Club Hípico.
More details here and more as we have it.
Faith No More to play Brazil
Faith No More will play the SWU festival in Sao Paolo, Brazil on 14 November.
More details on the festival at the official site here.
As Roddy alluded to in his Tweet announcing the date, the festival raises money and awareness for a Brazilian environmental charity SWU. More details on the sustainability project here.
Bill Gould added to PIVIXKI/Patton bill
Ipecac have just revealed that Bill Gould will be the opening act for the 18 May PIVIXKI/Patton date at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.
Ipecac report: “We are very pleased to announce the opening act for the May 18th PIVIXKI/Patton show in San Francisco. It will be the debut live show of THE TALKING BOOK featuring Bill Gould (Faith No More, Kool Arrow) and Gigante Sound. This cool night got even cooler.”
Faith No More to play Forestglade Festival in Austria
Various Austrian sites have announced that Faith No More will play the Forestglade festival in Wiesen in Austria on 17 July. Leading newspaper Kurier and a host of ticket sites report that FNM will join Die Fantastischen Vier and The Cranberries on the bill. Gossip, New Model Army and veteran Irish rockers Therapy? are also down to play.
Tickets are already on sale for the event and given that Faith No More are playing at the Gurtenfestial on Friday 16 July we can assume they will be on stage in Austria on Saturday.
Ticket details and sale here and also here and here.
Faith No More announce Brooklyn, New York date
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.”
Faith No More to play Gurtenfestival in Switzerland
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.

What next for Faith No More?
Just when it appeared that Mike Patton’s solo date in Amsterdam would signal the end of the FNM reunion, the band have announced their opening two European festival dates of the summer and promised more to follow.
Indeed, should they follow the often hectic schedule of their 2009 European tour, it seems likely that Faith No More will squeeze in another date on the same weekend as their Optimus Alive and Sonisphere engagements in Portugal in Spain. The Bilbao BBK Live festival, which also features Rammstein from Sonisphere and Pearl Jam from Optimus, looks a good bet. Also on the same weekend are the mammoth and related Oxegen and T in the Park festivals in Ireland as well as the Ruisrock festival in Finland, which FNM headlined last year, and Serbia’s iconic Exit festival. Oxegen has gone somewhat hip-hop this year and the bill looks loaded but more names will be revealed on 8 March. T in the Park has already announced its headliners and is sold out so looks a remote possibility.
With as many as ten major festivals taking place across Europe on some weekends, further summer speculation would be laborious and ill-informed. However, some news to keep an eye out for next week is the announcement of the final headliner for the United Kingdom Sonisphere date. No word of an exact date yet but this week’s announcement came on Tuesday. Iron Maiden and Rammstein are already conformed for the Knebworth two-dayer on Friday 30 July and Saturday 1 August.
A confirmation for that and suddenly a whole summer of FNM again looms appealingly for European fans. What though for the US and north America in general? Three Warfield dates and the Coachella festival have been confirmed so far and there’s not even a sniff of a rumour of anything else as of yet. Some fans have taken the new European dates as a sign that there won’t be any more US shows but there is still plenty of time to fit in more dates before a European jaunt and it must be remembered that the lucrative European festival circuit was more than likely the trigger for the whole reunion in the first place so it is hardly surprising that it is being milked again.
As for a new record, again speculation is all I can offer but it does appear that the band have not even got so far as discussing the prospect in detail as of yet. Whatever the future holds, just over one year after the announcement that Faith No More would reform, the Second Coming adventure continues to enthrall.

Faith No More to play Optimus Alive in Portugal
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.
Faith No More to play Spain in July
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.

There are already some cracking photos up on Flickr. None more so than those from Amped photography.
