Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, and Kenney Jones Hint at Upcoming Faces Album
Faces Reunite: Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, and Kenney Jones Set to Record New Album
In an exciting turn for classic rock enthusiasts, legendary UK band Faces is gearing up for a reunion, as frontman Rod Stewart, guitarist Ronnie Wood, and drummer Kenney Jones have confirmed they are recording new material. Following a fruitful session at RAK Studios in North London, the trio is reportedly laying down 11 tracks for what could be their first full-length album since the 1973 classic Ooh La La.
In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Jones revealed insights into the new project, stating, “About 11 tracks have been recorded, including one featuring Jools Holland.” While not every song is destined for the final cut, Jones expressed optimism that “most of them are good.” Although fans will have to wait a bit longer—2026 is the projected release date—hints of their collaborative spark are evident as they work around busy touring schedules.
It’s been five decades since Faces, known for their raucous sound and spirited performances, officially disbanded in 1975. However, the group’s legacy has had resurgences over the years, most notably during their 2015 reunion concert. Their recent history includes a stirring performance of "Stay with Me" at the BRIT Awards in 2020, capturing the attention of both fans and critics alike.
As the excitement grows, Jones hinted at the possibility of a new Faces documentary featuring previously unseen footage and “some rude bits.” Discussions are underway with his collaborator Nigel Adams, adding another layer of intrigue for die-hard fans.
Meanwhile, Stewart is busy prepping for an extensive 2025 touring schedule, including a Las Vegas residency and appearances with Billy Joel, alongside a highly anticipated slot at Glastonbury. The possibility of a Faces appearance at the festival has fans buzzing, as Jones coyly remarked, “It could be.”
As we look forward to their new music, it’s clear that the magic of Faces hasn’t faded. With a blend of nostalgia and fresh creativity, this reunion is set to reaffirm their lasting influence on rock—and who knows what other surprises lie ahead. Stay tuned as we await more updates on this thrilling chapter in the band’s storied history.
