Trey Spruance will be Faith No More’s guitarist for their 2027 reunion. The band made it public on social media with a promo photo showing him alongside Mike Patton, Billy Gould, Roddy Bottum and Mike Bordin. Spruance steps in for Jon Hudson, and the band haven’t said why.
Spruance was in Faith No More from 1993 to 1995, replacing Jim Martin, and played on 1995’s “King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime”. On Instagram he wrote: “It means the world to me to be invited to strap on my big boy boots & join FAITH NO MORE.”
Faith No More haven’t played a show since August 2016. The comeback opens on 15 January at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro and moves on to Australia and New Zealand, all with System Of A Down. In May they play two US festivals, Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple, their only North American dates, and in June eight European festivals: Rock For People, Rock im Park, Rock am Ring, Mystic, Nova Rock, Graspop, Copenhell and Tons of Rock.
The nearest to Catalonia is NOS Alive in Lisbon, on 9 July; there are no Spanish dates.
