Photo: Micelotta/GettyThe Faces -- the greatest party band of the Seventies -- are back!
Rod Stewart confirmed the rumors last night.
"Yes, absolutely," Rod said, confirming news of their first tour in more than thirty years. "We have our first rehearsal on Monday. It will be next summer and I am looking forward to it. It'll be great."
The Faces split in 1975 when guitarist Ronnie Wood left to join an insignificant band called the Rolling Stones. But Stewart doesn't see any sort of conflict of interest getting in the way this time. "Ronnie is up to it," Stewart said. "He is full of energy and very excited."

I was born in 1979 so this will be my first chance to see my favorite Rock & Roll band.

Ian McLagan's publicist told me so far, the tour isn't a sure thing (yet). Maybe that's a smokescreen. I hope they do tour, and tickets are under $100, and they come to Texas/Oklahoma/Arksansas/Missouir/Kansas region so I can see them for the first time. I did interview McLagan a couple years ago and I did meet Ronnie Lane (RIP). Both were the nicest guys EVER. And man, could Lane play bass guitar ....
Nextitfeeler | November 19, 2008 7:40 AM
Great news! Hope Ronnie makes this his home for good. He hasn't played anything worth listening to since "Some Girls". Maybe now the Glimmers can extend a hand and reach out to Mick Taylor. The Stones could tour making it about the music and not the posing that has been the norm the last 25 years. Best of luck to THE FACES!

wow - another antiques roadshow...
Peter S. | November 18, 2008 9:01 AM
Great News, I havn't been interested in Rod since he left the Band. Bought "Five Guys ..." recently, they were the Best!
floppy rooster | November 18, 2008 7:41 AM
Completely Brilliant! cant wait..Idea of Rod and Jeff joining up with led zep would be quite an event
TP | November 17, 2008 9:26 PM
I think Ronnie needs the money since his former youngster wife, waked away with his fortune.
Ron Wood Ate My Balls | November 17, 2008 8:15 PM
Hope Rod doesn't think he can have Ron back from the Stones. Woody's just on loan, and he's still playing his ass off.
zee | November 17, 2008 7:58 AM
the Intl -- wishful thinking.. I'm sure the cheapest tickets will be at least $100....
zoom | November 17, 2008 3:42 AM
best news ever!
Clint Schrenk | November 17, 2008 1:37 AM
Rock on Rod'Ronnie!!
basser | November 16, 2008 11:51 PM
Who will play bass, since the late Ronnie Lane is no longer with us? Bill Wyman? Will this reunion include Kenney Jones on drums and Ian McLagan on keyboards? This article didn't say. If Kenney and Ian aren't involved, it's not really Faces ....
slim | November 16, 2008 2:08 PM
gee, maybe they will play some of that crappy 1930's stuff rod's been bludgeoning us with?
i still listen to nod is good as a wink to a blind horse in rotation with the rest of those classics
gappytoofcondi | November 16, 2008 11:48 AM
Any way for Jeff Beck to drop in occasionally?
Mikael | November 16, 2008 8:29 AM
Hell Yeah!
This will wipe the floor with EVERYTHING!
WHODOTHEVOODOO | November 16, 2008 12:25 AM
Go Faces, go!
j c dubbs | November 16, 2008 12:21 AM
YES!!!
Slick Willy | November 15, 2008 7:07 PM
Oh La La!
JD | November 15, 2008 6:18 PM
Hell, I'll be there. Saw them in the 70s, now I'll see them when I'm 70. (Well, not really)
stan s | November 15, 2008 5:59 PM
bring it on, oh please bring it on....
ladymcmuffin | November 15, 2008 5:03 PM
The fans of the Faces have waited a long time for this to happen. This is the only reunion I have ever really ever hoped and wished for. Please Guys, do a show in Dallas or Oklahoma.
BA | November 14, 2008 5:10 PM
I wish Rod would join the the zeppelin guys and get jeff beck in there and do Jeff Beck Group, Yardbirds, Zeppelin songs. That would be so awesome.
Jeff | November 14, 2008 4:36 PM
Looking forward to this tour too... Hope they play Cobo Hall in Detroit... that would be awesome to see them return to the scene of so many great crimes...ah I mean shows!!!!

Injection for the Wood'n'Stewart Pension Fund.
Hey Moe | November 14, 2008 1:33 PM
This makes me happy. Once upon a time, Rod Stewart was one of the greatest rock singers up there......until the year I was born (1975). It seems that year was when most of the classic bands went to shit - - The Stones (Black and Blue), Elton John, The Who (The Who By Numbers) and The Faces broke up so that Rod could make half hearted records with The (once mighty) Rolling Stones.
If The Faces play the right venues (theaters) this could be really great.
PS - Sure would be funy if they got The Black Crowes, Jet, Supergrass or The Fratelli's to open.
Game Face | November 14, 2008 9:55 AM
The skies parted, and the Gods of good-time Rock'n'Roll are smiling upon us once again!
Veddy Edder | November 14, 2008 9:51 AM
"money grab"
Like the Fleet Foxes, Vampire Weekend or your favorite indie band wouldn't charge $100 a ticket if they could get the audience? give me a break
Muzzy63 | November 14, 2008 8:20 AM
Will Ronnie bring along his 18 year old mail order Russian mistress?
Dr. Mabuse | November 14, 2008 5:51 AM
"rocknroll is a dish best served by the young..."
Not anymore with all the garbage that the "young" are producing.
stefano | November 14, 2008 5:07 AM
Myles Kennedy will play bass.
The Intl | November 14, 2008 4:29 AM
zee: who are you kidding? you know they'll charge up the ass. they have a golden opportunity. Woody's got "expenses", y'know.
Bob Saget's Revenge | November 14, 2008 12:10 AM
Money grab....
rocknroll is a dish best served by the young...
Marty | November 13, 2008 11:54 PM
YES! But who's going to be playing bass, will Tetsu finally get another payday? R.I.P. Ronnie Lane.
Jungleland2 | November 13, 2008 11:33 PM
Faces are still the coolest band of all time. Can't wait - but - we miss you Ronnie Lane
zee | November 13, 2008 11:20 PM
Saw the "farewell" tour in 75' looking forward to the "welcome" back tour... Just don't charge exuberant prices..
