Randy Holmes/ABC via Getty ImagesFaith No More has announced a new show in the U.K. to raise money for the Australia bushfire relief efforts.
The concert will take place June 9 at the O2 Apollo in Manchester, England. All proceeds will be donated to a pair of relief funds established by the Australia organizations WIRES and the CFS Foundation.
“Australia is a country that we connected with early on in our career,” says keyboardist Roddy Bottum in a statement. “We spent time not only with the people in their cities but also at its beaches and driving through its vast terrains.”
“Reading the news about what’s been happening in Australia has been heartbreaking,” adds bassist Bill Gould. “It’s hard to even comprehend the scale of damage; hopefully this small contribution on our part can make a difference somewhere.”
Tickets go on sale this Friday, January 24 at 10 a.m. local time. Visit FNM.com for all ticket info.
The benefit show will kick off Faith No More’s upcoming U.K. and European tour, which will mark the band’s first live dates since 2016.
