The original lineup of Jon King, Andy Gill, Dave Allen and Hugo Burnham reformed in November 2004. A UK tour in January 2005, shows in Europe and Japan and tours of the United States in May/June and again in September cemented their fierce live reputation. In October 2005, Gang of Four released a new disc featuring new recordings of songs from the albums ''Entertainment!'', ''Solid Gold'' and ''Songs of the Free'' titled ''Return the Gift'', accompanied by an album's worth of remixes. The album featured [[Mark Heaney]] on drums.

In January 2011, the band, now featuring Mark Heaney on drums who replaced Burnham in 2006, and Thomas McNeice on bass, released a new album, ''[[Content (Gang of Four album)|Content]]'', which was called "their best record since the Seventies".<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/8274881/Gang-of-Four-Content-CD-review.html | location=London | newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] | first=Andrew | last=Perry | title=Gang of Four: Content, CD review | date=21 January 2011}}</ref> [[Jon Pareles]], in a ''[[The New York Times|New York Times]]'' 4-star review, declared that [the band] "have reclaimed, with a vengeance, their old attack".<ref>{{cite news| title= Critics' Choice: New CDs| url=http://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/2011/01/25/arts/music/25choice.html | newspaper=[[The New York Times]] | first1=Ben | last1=Ratliff | first2=Nate | last2=Chinen | first3=Jon | last3=Pareles | date=24 Jan 2011}}</ref>
Following successful tours of the US, Australia and Europe in 2011, King and Gill disagreed about the band's direction and ceased working together.
