Faith No More played their first festival in the UK at Reading thirty five years ago on August 24th 1990.

NME | September 1990
Faith No More are the most impressive band to come out of America this year, selling out two tours in the UK. This is their first festival show here in Blighty but we expect it won’t be their last. As always the San Franciscan fivesome blow up the stage and the crowd in their wake. Throwing out songs from their multiselling album The Real Thing like grenades, with covers of Madonna and NKOTB for shits and giggles. Lead singer Michael Patton wears a kilt parades the stage like a mad man.
