The Daily Star, our UK newspaper of choice for their searing cerebral analysis of world affairs, today reports that Faith No More will play Sonisphere UK this summer.
During the course of an interview with American Idle winner Adam Lambert, who will help Queen thrash their own legacy to bits at the festival, the paper casually reports: “Sonisphere’s line-up, which also includes metal veterans Faith No More, tours Europe before hitting Knebworth on July 6-8, scene of Queen’s final gig with Freddie in 1986.”
Faith No More have previously been strongly rumoured to be playing the French version of the touring festival on the same weekend.
Angel Dust is 20 this year. Front to Back with some newbies and other classics thrown in…?
Will they release their new album before they play sonisphere i wonder?? 😉
All I know is FNM and Kiss. Will keep you posted.
I see. Who else is TBC then? Is it FNM, Kiss and ‘Queen’?
My wife works at Ticketmaster 😉
Darkness II out today guys.
And yeh, Matthius23…where is it confirmed that FNM are playing Sonisphere UK?
Source?
FNM and Kiss def confirmed for UK Sonisphere 🙂
There are a ton of bootlegs that were just posted to ZOMB over the past week. Some great stuff in there. Check it out.
Not really sure what this means but it looks promising:

Bill Maher a faith no more fan or coincidence? http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bill-mahers-new-rule-atheism-and-religion-are-not-two-sides-of-the-same-coin/
Yeah that Chile show never did surface online. 🙁
Anyone know yet when they will air their performance in Chile on Via X?
oh how I hope this means they play Sonisphere in Sweden as well.
Kool to have them on European soil again. Cant wait! Hope the do solo shows! Having fnm on a festival bill is unfair to the other bands! Outshined. I love watching various bands at festivals, but after seeing faith no more i always leave and don’t come back the day after. Having fnm’s always excellent performance in mind makes it impossible to enjoy the bands next day no matter how good or legendary they are. Curse you FNM! 🙂
Slash is playing Download. Very doubtful he’d play both. Kiss and Van Halen are strongly linked to the UK leg, though I wouldn’t rule out Blink 182, despite them playing a UK tour around the time.
To be honest as long as FNM play I pay. Let’s have Tool though please. ;-p
SWEET! I will be moving to Germany in April, so I will definitely be going to this show.
NEW MATERIAL FROM FAITH NO MORE!!! ??
SURELY!!!
“And the plot thickens ev-er-y daay”…..
So do we think FNM, ‘Queen’ and Slash IS true…?!
Slash ain’t big enough to headline in my opinion.
Efestivals are also reporting fnm as a to be confirmed act for sonisphere, looks good to go!
It would seem the perfect opportunity for FNM to play a Queen cover wouldn’t you think?
