We&#8217;re gonna play. Yeah, we&#8217;re gonna do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>What Else Bill Gould Said About Faith No More<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking about the band&#8217;s intent to return to playing live again for the first time since 2016, the\u00a0Gould commented,\u00a0&#8220;Our music is very physical and a big concern is, like, pretty soon we&#8217;re not gonna be able to do this the way we wrote it. We wrote it as 20-year-olds and it&#8217;s always been very physical. It has to be that way. I can&#8217;t play the song if I&#8217;m not like that, honestly. With my bass parts, I just can&#8217;t do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued, &#8220;We all kind of decided, like, we think we can do it. I think that we can do it for a few more years and we can do it the right way, so we&#8217;re gonna give it a go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One other sign that a comeback\u00a0was afoot was a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.pollstar.com\/2026\/06\/16\/influential-rock-band-faith-no-more-inks-global-touring-deal-with-30e\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Pollstar<\/em><\/a> report that shared that the <a href=\"https:\/\/loudwire.com\/tags\/mike-patton\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Patton<\/a>-fronted group signed a global, long-term touring deal with Brazilian promoter 30e. Faith No More\u00a0shared in a statement: &#8220;30e feels like a company that wants to dent into the status quo and as artists we understand the value of that. Their approach doesn&#8217;t feel like the usual machinery; it feels like it&#8217;s coming from a different place, with a different kind of energy and we are willing to get behind that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Where Have Faith No More Been?<\/h3>\n<p>After going their separate ways in 1998, Faith No More regrouped in 2009 with their <em>Album of the Year<\/em> lineup. After touring intermittently in the years to follow, they decided to pursue a new album, <em>Sol Invictus<\/em>, that was released in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Then in 2021, after the pandemic, <a href=\"https:\/\/loudwire.com\/faith-no-more-mr-bungle-cancel-tour-mike-patton-mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\">Faith No More canceled all touring<\/a>\u00a0to allow Patton to focus on his mental health. Recent years have seen Patton reunite onstage with <a href=\"https:\/\/loudwire.com\/tags\/mr-bungle\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. Bungle<\/a>, but a Faith No More reunion has not happened in the time since and the members openly shared their concerns that it might not happen.<\/p>\n<p>Drummer <a href=\"https:\/\/loudwire.com\/faith-no-more-mike-bordin-singles-out-mike-patton-not-doing-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Bordin shared in 2025<\/a> on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/7jn61tdqPGeBvZuKuUOtRG?si=2b62157f9bfc4cc5\" target=\"_blank\">Dean Delray on the Let There Be Talk podcast<\/a>,\u00a0&#8220;It&#8217;s funny: when you&#8217;ve been in a band or a musical situation for a period of time, you always, in the back of your head, you&#8217;re kind of thinking, &#8216;Well, maybe this is it.&#8217; And I don&#8217;t mind that feeling,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I don&#8217;t see it as a sad thing. I see it as being present and being able to really appreciate it while it&#8217;s happening.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s my take, my position, my statement on it is that he&#8217;s gone from being unable to do the shows to clearly being unwilling to do shows with us. And that&#8217;s heavy. That&#8217;s a big difference. That&#8217;s a big difference. And we haven&#8217;t really had much dialogue on it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/loudwire.com\/faith-no-more-roddy-bottum-use-your-illusion-tour-guns-n-roses-offensive-turning-pointng-point\/\" target=\"_blank\">Roddy Bottum Recalls &#8216;Offensive&#8217; 1992 Faith No More Tour With Guns N&#8217; Roses<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But it now appears the members have discussed the future with 2027 touring becoming a reality.
