Faith No More to Stream Upcoming Concert

Faith No More have announced that they are teaming up with Yahoo! and Live Nation to broadcast one of their upcoming tour dates.

Tomorrow evening (May 8), Yahoo! will exclusively be streaming the band’s show at The Fillmore in Detroit beginning at 9:15 p.m. EDT.

This tour comes as a massive gift to fans in the United States who have been waiting years for this to happen. Since 2009 when the band reunited, they have not toured any U.S. cities. According to keyboardist Roddy Bottum, the U.S. was not exactly a high priority tour destination for them, so they toured elsewhere instead.

“We didn’t really care to do America, it wasn’t a big priority for us,” said Bottum.

“We wanted to do shows that made us happy and go to places that we wanted to go, and none of us had any desire to travel across America.”

While we feel like that’s kind of a burn, its nice to know that they changed their mind and have decided to tour the U.S. for some Spring stops with Le Butcherettes and then once again in late July with the newly reunited Refused.

Tour dates and tickets can be found here.

Faith No More also announced they would be releasing a brand new album, the first in over a decade on May 19. The album will be titled Sol Invictus and is set to be released through Ipecac Recordings.

Download Festival Unveil More Acts

The year hasn’t even ended yet, but Download Festival is already well underway with the unveiling the performers for next Summer’s event.

Previously, acts like Slipknot and A Day to Remember had been confirmed to take the stage during the weekend-long festival. Today, festival organizers have revealed a couple of more names that will head out to England to perform.

Muse, KISS, Mötley Crüe, Marilyn Manson, and Faith No More are the names that were added to the continuously growing line-up.

Muse will headline the event on Saturday night for the first time ever. Considering that the group have been around for almost 20 years, played stadiums, and call England home, it comes as a surprise that this would be their first time performing at the event.

“We’ve never played the festival before so it’s going to be really special,” the band said in a joint statement about their addition to the line up. Fittingly, the band’s upcoming new album will reportedly be released around the time of Download, at least according to frontman Matt Bellamy.

Also joining the line-up will be Faith No More. The last time they performed at Download was back in 2009, but this time will be different because they will be releasing a new album; their first in 18 years.

“The last time we played Download, the focus was on bringing back the past; now it’s all about the present and the future. Where it should be.”

Marilyn Manson has also been added to the growing list, but unlike his previous times at the festival, the shock rocker will be headlining the second stage rather than playing the main stage as a supporting act.

The final new addition to the line up will be Mötley Crüe who are currently in the middle of their “good-bye tour.” According to The Guardian, their appearance at Download will mark their last ever festival performance at a rock event before they officially call it a day on the band.

Download Festival will take place during the weekend of June 12-14, 2015 at Donington Park in England. Tickets for the event will go on sale beginning at 9 a.m. tomorrow (Nov. 20).
