The Second Coming


The Second Coming

WITH VERY SPECIAL GUESTS

* *

*TUESDAY 16 FEBRUARY CHRISTCHURCH, WESTPAC***

* *

*THURSDAY 18 FEBRUARY AUCKLAND, VECTOR ARENA*

The news you've been waiting for -- Faith No More *ARE *coming to New Zealand.

*Faith No More* has always stood out as a unique beast; part dog, part cat---its music almost as schizophrenic as the personalities of its members. Their chemistry is undeniable.

/ /

11 years after famously calling it a day in April 1998, Faith No More stunned the music world by announcing their reformation earlier this year. Their comeback shows have been met with unanimous rapture from fans and critics alike:

/"It's an onslaught of energy, unpredictability, aggression, love and humour and played to absolute perfection. Astonishingly for a literal comeback gig, Faith No More are as tight and faultless as a well-oiled tour machine, but with none of the wariness and complacency."/

Clickmusic

/"If the Pixies reunion showed that classic bands can reform with dignity and deliver their songs with at least some of their original intent, then last night Faith No More proved it's possible to retain the capacity to shock and surprise your fans. A truly staggering return." /BBC 6 Music

/"This is not a nostalgia trip; this is a truly inspiring piece of musical history showing no signs of losing its relevance. Now this was a reformation truly worth waiting for. Download is going to be amazing!"/ Rock Sound

"/Faith No More brought the first day of Download to a close tonight with an epic comeback set on the Main Stage./" NME

A statement from Faith No More confirmed that they are "/still young and strong enough to deliver a kickass set, with enthusiasm to not only revisit our past but possibly add something to the present. And so with this we've decided to hold our collective breaths and jump off this cliff.... BACK, GOD FORBID, INTO THE MONKEY CAGE/!!!"
