Ian McLagan has sketched out the plans for next year\u2019s Faces and Small Faces reunions, suggesting that both groups could reform. Despite a recent argument<\/a> about which project should take precedence, according to McLagan, \u201cit\u2019s looking very healthy\u201d for a full Faces lineup in 2015. Fans should expect \u201cbig news any day\u201d, the keyboardist told ABC News Radio<\/a>. While Rod Stewart and the Faces will probably mount a full tour, the Small Faces are apparently more likely to stage a one-off London gig. \u201cIt\u2019s a plan,\u201d McLagan said. I hope it all comes together. It sounds like it will this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ironically, McLagan is the one who initially denied<\/a> Stewart\u2019s reunion proposal<\/a>. \u201cWhy would we fuck around with the Faces when we\u2019ve got bigger fish to fry?\u201d he said in December, alluding to the Small Faces upcoming 50th anniversary. \u201c[Rod]\u2019ll have to wait until 2016 because 2015 is the Small Faces\u2019 year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The following month, McLagan\u2019s (Small) Faces bandmate Kenney Jones explained that the keyboardist just hadn\u2019t been told yet<\/a>. Stewart, Jones, Ronnie Wood and Conrad Korsch, Stewart\u2019s touring bassist, had all apparently \u201cstarted talking\u201d about going on the road. At last, now, McLagan seems in on the scheme: \u201c[We] will do something in 2015,\u201d he confirmed.<\/p>\n

All this is historic. Despite some recent shows with fill-in frontman Mick Hucknall, the Faces haven\u2019t played with Stewart since 1993. The Small Faces haven\u2019t headlined a bill since 1978. Then again, this is partly due to tragedy: Small Faces singer Steve Marriott died in 1991, and bassist Ronnie Lane in 1997. To play that Small Faces tribute show, McLagan admitted, \u201cwe need singers and bass players and guitarists\u201d. \u201c[But] we got lots of friends [who could join us],\u201d he went on. \u201cWe\u2019ll probably do … just one decent show and I think that would be really, really fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

McLagan is also performing at Austin\u2019s SXSW festival, appearing with his group the Bump Band. They are due to release a new album this year.<\/p>\n
