After a decade away, one of the loudest, weirdest, most influential bands of the ’90s is finally coming back — and Ohio is on the map.

Stereogum reports that Faith No More will hit the road in 2027 for their first tour in 11 years, and this time the lineup is set: guitarist Trey Spruance is back in the band. Spruance played on the group’s 1995 album King for a Day… Fool for a Lifetime but never toured with them — he’s stepping in for longtime guitarist Jon Hudson, who is no longer in the band.

The reunion has been building all year. The band teased a 2027 return back in June, then confirmed a run of shows in Australia and New Zealand. Now the full picture is out: they open January 15 at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro supporting System of a Down, hit stadiums across Australia and New Zealand, then return stateside for the festival circuit — including Consequence‘s confirmed date of May 16 at Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio.

That’s the one that matters for Toledo. Sonic Temple is a straight shot down I-75, and Faith No More at a festival is a bucket-list set for anyone who grew up on “Epic,” “Midlife Crisis,” and “Evidence.” Mike Patton hasn’t fronted the band live since 2015, and Spruance hasn’t played a Faith No More show in more than 30 years. If you’ve ever wanted to see this band, this is the window — and Columbus is the closest they’ll come.

No ticket details for Sonic Temple 2027 have been announced yet, but the festival dates are locked: May 6 at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, then May 16 in Columbus, before a run of European festivals in June and July. Toledo road-trippers, start planning now.
