Faith No More to play New York in July; band’s first East Coast date in more than a decade

The reunited Faith No More continue to eke out U.S. tour dates, today announcing a New York City concert in July — the band’s first East Coast show in more than a decade — to follow its three sold-out San Francisco gigs in April in advance of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.

The group — which just wrapped a run of shows Down Under, where they apparently bumped into a very tan Tom Jones, above — will perform July 5 at the Williamsburg Waterfront as part of a benefit series for the Open Space Alliance of North Brooklyn.

Faith No More — featuring Mike Bordin, Roddy Bottum, Billy Gould, Mike Patton and Jon Hudson, one of the late-’90s fill-ins for Jim Martin — reunited last year after 11 years apart, playing a string of festival dates across Europe and South America. So far, though, the band has only announced U.S. shows in New York and California.

Following the Brooklyn show — which goes on sale noon EST Friday via Ticketmaster — the band is slated to head back to Europe for a string of festival performances.
