Morrissey Announces First US Tour in 3 years!

“[the live show] was a typical Morrissey paradox: an ironic religious experience" --Rolling Stone

“Those who miss the voice are in for a treat; Morrissey has never sounded better.”             -Spin

Morrissey has announced his first US tour in 3 years and the first since his last album “Ringleader of the Tormentors” (Attack) hit the number 1 spot in the UK 11 months ago. The extensive tour will see him in iconic venues like the Hollywood Bowl and Madison Square Garden (complete list of dates below) The album became his third #1 UK album chart debut and also debuted in the top 20 on Billboard’s album chart. The lead single,  “You Have Killed Me”, entered the US Single Sales chart at #1.

Morrissey spent 2006 on tour around the world playing over 100 shows - most of them sold out! - including headlining appearances at the V Festival and Christmas homecoming shows at Manchester's G Mex Arena and with the exception of shows in Chicago and Pasadena 
held back on the US until he had sufficient time to devote to playing the width and breadth of the country.

Morrissey handpicked KRISTEENYOUNG as the support act for the entire tour. The piano and drums duo recently completed their fourth album, “The Orphans”, which was also produced by Visconti. Morrissey has said of the album, ”So deep do the rhymes strike that I already feel I owe Kristeen Young something, which is the best feeling a singer can surely give us.”
