On November 18, 2016, founding member and original drummer Philip "Fish" Fisher played his first show with the band since his departure in 1998. On November 26, Fishbone performed at a Jimi Hendrix tribute concert at Harlem's [[Apollo Theater]], at which time drummer John Steward departed Fishbone after 18 years to make room for the returning Fish.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.fishbonelive.org/news/view/275/|title=Fishbone news|website=Fishbonelive.org|access-date=October 12, 2019}}</ref> In January 2017 the band announced a tour to commemorate the 1996 album ''[[Chim Chim's Badass Revenge]]''. Former guitarist John Bigham returned to the band, after which Rocky George departed after 14 years of service. 

In late 2017 Moore, Kibby, and John Norwood Fisher were featured on the song "Creatures of Habit" by John Heintz's funk-rock supergroup The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Leigh|first1=Nathan|title=Fishbone's Angelo Moore tears it up on the latest funk supergroup The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown "Creatures of Habit"|url=http://afropunk.com/2018/01/premiere-fishbones-angelo-moore-tears-latest-funk-supergroup-big-ol-nasty-getdown-creatures-habit/|website=AfroPunk|access-date=March 31, 2018|date=January 3, 2018}}</ref> Their song "Creatures of Habit" was chosen for the [[The New York Times|''New York Times'']] top ten playlist on January 5, 2018.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/05/arts/music/playlist-justin-timberlake-bruno-mars-kendrick-lamar.html | title=The Playlist: Justin Timberlake Stays Funky (For Now), and 9 More New Songs | work=The New York Times | date=January 5, 2018 | last1=Pareles | first1=Jon | last2=Caramanica | first2=Jon | last3=Russonello | first3=Giovanni }}</ref> Fisher played bass for The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown song "Mantra"<ref>{{cite magazine | url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/big-ol-nasty-getdown-vol-2-video-8097825/ | title=The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown Shares Behind-the-Scenes Clips of Funk All-Star Album | magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] }}</ref> while he and Moore have made several appearances on subsequent albums by the supergroup.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://michaelsmusiclog.blogspot.com/2024/12/the-big-ol-nasty-getdown-repurpose.html | title=Michael Doherty's Music Log: The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown: "Repurpose Purpose Vol. 1" (2024) Vinyl Review | date=December 31, 2024 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thepitchkc.com/analog-adventures-old-crow-medicine-show-mf-doom-david-rawlings-and-more-of-the-best-recent-vinyl/ | title=Analog Adventures: Old Crow Medicine Show, MF DOOM, David Rawlings, and more of the best recent vinyl | date=January 28, 2025 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.instagram.com/drmaddvibe/reel/DC3G8L6pfr5/ | title=Instagram }}</ref>  

In January 2018, Christopher Dowd made a guest appearance with the band onstage and decided to rejoin, thus replacing both trombonist Jay Armant and keyboardist Paul Hampton.<ref>{{cite web|title=It is OFISHAL!

In December 2019, John Bigham announced that he was no longer playing with Fishbone to focus on his solo work. Guitarist Mark Phillips joined the band shortly thereafter.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mclars.fireside.fm/72|title=Angelo Moore|first=M.

Phillip "Fish" Fisher left the group again in late 2021, after which John Steward rejoined on drums.

On May 26, 2023, Fishbone released a self-titled EP,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Price |first=Jason |date=2023-05-19 |title=FISHBONE To Release New Self-Titled EP On May 26th via Bottles To The Ground |url=https://www.iconvsicon.com/2023/05/19/fishbone-to-release-new-self-titled-ep-on-may-26th-via-bottles-to-the-ground/ |access-date=2024-06-16 |website=Icon Vs.

On April 25, 2024, Fishbone made a vague post on Facebook, indicating a major lineup change for their upcoming live dates. The following day, Dowd revealed that Fisher and Kibby had left the band due to disagreements over songwriting and recording schedules. Dowd and Moore vowed to continue, alongside new musicians to be announced, as Fishbone. This left Moore as the only member who has been with Fishbone throughout its entire history; Dowd was also a founding member but with a lengthy hiatus before rejoining.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fishbone's Lineup Change Has Been a Major Mess {{!}} Exclaim! |url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/fishbone-messily-make-major-lineup-changes |access-date=2024-06-16 |website=Fishbone’s Lineup Change Has Been a Major Mess {{!}} Exclaim! |language=en}}</ref> New members Aroyn Day, Hassan Hurd, and JS Williams were added.
