The Faces have reunited but with Mick Hucknall of Simply Red taking the place of Rod Stewart.
The line-up will feature original Faces Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan. Former Sex-Pistol Glen Matlock will also be in the band in place of the late Ronnie Lane.The first show is confirmed for August 13 at the Vintage at Greenwood Festival in Wes Sussex.
“We got together to receive a PRS Lifetime Achievement award last year and very simply the magic was still there,” Ronnie Wood said in a statement. “Playing with the boys again just felt right so we thought well why not? It’s exciting to be on this path again and I hope that the Faces fans are excited as we are - I’m just really looking forward to seeing them this summer - bring it on!”
“When we realised at the PRS Awards we hadn’t played a live gig since 1975 we just couldn’t believe it,” Kenney Jones added. “The timing is just right, we can feel the excitement and we cannot wait to be back on stage playing to a live audience again. Expect the classics and also some incredible guests when we get back on the road, it’s going to be lots of fun.”
"Frustrated Faces fans can finally feel the heat as Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones and me hit the stage with Mick Hucknall and Glen Matlock fanning the flames," says Ian McLagan.
Additional tour dates will be announced soon.
