Nine months have passed since we first published rumors of a reunion, but it looks like fIREHOSE — featuring Mike Watt, George Hurley, and Ed Crawford — will be returning to the stage. According to a tip from a reader, an announcement was made during the X show on December 29th Harlow’s in Sacramento, California that fIREHOSE will be performing at the venue in April.

According to Sonic Living, the show will take place on April 5, 2012 at 8 p.m. Harlow’s has not yet posted the show information on their site, so stay tuned and check often.

fIREHOSE formed in 1986 following the death Minutemen front man D. Boon. They performed more than 900 shows, and last played on February 12, 1994 at the Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro, California.
