On June 16, 2026, Faith No More posted a photo of their logo with the text “2027” and signed a deal with Brazilian concert promoter 30e. The next day, bassist Billy Gould confirmed that the band was planning to tour in 2027. In July 2026, Faith No More confirmed an Australian and New Zealand tour supporting System of a Down with the live gigs planned in January and February 2027.

In a 2022 interview with The Guardian , Patton disclosed that he had not spoken to the members of Faith No More since the initial show cancellations, leaving the band’s future in question. In October 2024, keyboardist Roddy Bottum stated that Faith No More was on a “semi-permanent hiatus”. Bordin confirmed in an April 2025 podcast interview that Patton was “clearly unwilling to do shows with” the band, due to his commitments with Mr. Bungle . In October 2025, Bottum reiterated doubts over another Faith No More reunion, clarifying: “I don’t think anyone’s sort of up for it at this point. We had a bunch of shows that we were gonna play, and they got canceled, just for various reasons. But I don’t think the course that we were on has fixed itself.”

On November 23, 2019, Faith No More updated its official website and social media accounts with an image of the band’s eight-pointed star logo in front of a snow-covered mountain top, accompanied by a clock counting down to November 26, 2019; on the latter date, the band announced its first shows in five years set to take place in Europe in June 2020, including Sunstroke Festival in Ireland, Hellfest in France and Tons of Rock in Norway. That week, the band also added a date at the Mad Cool festival in Madrid, Spain, scheduled for July 2020. Most of the dates, including the Australian and European legs, were moved to 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic . The band was scheduled to play two shows at the Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles with System of a Down , Helmet and Russian Circles , first scheduled for May 22–23, 2020 and then postponed twice due to the pandemic. In September 2021, Patton canceled all upcoming shows, citing mental health reasons.

In February 2018, it was announced that a documentary film on the late former Faith No More frontman Chuck Mosley had begun production; titled Thanks. And Sorry: The Chuck Mosley Movie , the film is being directed and edited by Drew Fortier and produced by Douglas Esper.

In August 2016, the band performed two concerts with former lead singer Chuck Mosley to celebrate the reissue of their debut album We Care a Lot . The band was billed as “Chuck Mosley & Friends” for the two shows and featured the lineup of Mosley, Mike Bordin, Billy Gould, Jon Hudson and Roddy Bottum. Mosley died on November 9, 2017 at the age of 57. The cause was described as “the disease of addiction”.

The band released their seventh studio album, Sol Invictus , in May 2015. The songs on the album were influenced by The Cramps , Link Wray and Siouxsie and the Banshees . Speaking to Revolver , Gould described the song “Cone of Shame” as “blues-based rock and roll” that also draws from black metal . Describing the song “Matador”, he said: “parts of it remind me of the first Siouxsie and the Banshees album. We used real pianos and that brings this organic quality to it to the music”. The second single from the album, “Superhero”, was shared by the band on March 1, 2015.

On May 29, 2014, Faith No More posted a message (along with a photograph of Mike Patton) on their Twitter account, saying that “the reunion thing was fun, but now it’s time to get a little creative.” On July 4, Faith No More played their first show in two years at Hyde Park in London, supporting Black Sabbath . At that show, Faith No More debuted two new songs “Motherfucker” and “Superhero” (also known by fans as “Leader of Men”). On August 20, the band posted “The Reunion Tour is over; in 2015 things are going to change.” These tweets led to speculation that the band was working on new material. On August 30, Gould said that the band is “considering doing something new”, and may begin work on a new studio album at some point in the not-too-distant future, explaining, “to do something creative would be a really good thing to do.” On September 2, Bill Gould revealed to Rolling Stone that the band had begun work on a new album. Faith No More headlined the final edition of Australia’s Soundwave in February and March 2015.

In a 2015 interview, Roddy Bottum said that the band originally intended to reform with guitarist Jim Martin for their reunion tour, but it did not happen.

They played at the Sonisphere France in France on July 7, 2012, and toured throughout Europe during that year. They added new covers during the 2012 shows, including ” Niggas in Paris ” by Jay-Z / Kanye West , ” Never Gonna Give You Up ” by Rick Astley and the internet meme song “Trololo” by Eduard Khil . Faith No More became temporarily inactive again. Mike Patton spent 2013 touring with his reformed rock supergroup Tomahawk , while the band’s other members also pursued their own side projects. In July 2013, Billy Gould confirmed that the band’s hiatus would not be permanent, saying “We will do something again only when all members are with the focus on that, and ready for the challenge. This is not the time… yet.”

In 2012, Morris said he had not spoken to Gould or Bottum since they quit Faith No Man in 1983, and that he also had not spoken to Bordin in many years, having only kept in regular contact with Worthington. During later interviews, the members gave reporters a fake story about the Faith No More name’s origin, claiming that it was inspired by a real racehorse of the same name. The horse only began racing in 1988, five years after the band chose the name Faith No More.
