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.
