Morrissey has announced a UK tour to take place in December – see all of the details below.
The former Smiths frontman released his 14th solo album ‘Make-Up Is A Lie’ in March via Sire Records, and has already announced a European headline tour to take place over the summer.
Now, he has confirmed details of a string of UK dates to follow in December, kicking off in the Brighton Centre on December 6. He will then head to Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on December 10 and Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena two nights later.
From there, he travels up to Glasgow for a show at the OVO Hydro on December 16 before rounding off the run with a date at Leeds’ First Direct Bank Arena on December 19.
Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday May 22, and you will be able to find yours here. Fans cal also sign up for early access via a pre-sale, beginning at 9am on Wednesday May 20, here.
Morrissey’s 2026 UK tour dates are:
DECEMBER
6 – Brighton, Brighton Centre
10 – Cardiff, Utilita Arena
12 – Liverpool, M&S Bank Arena
16 – Glasgow, OVO Hydro
19 – Leeds, First Direct Bank Arena
Morrissey played what had been billed as his only UK concert of the year at The O2 in London in February.
He also cancelled multiple shows in the US earlier this year, citing “artist illness” and an “adverse reaction to a prescription medication”. He then axed a live date in Valencia last month “due to sleep deprivation”.
“Any form of sleep or rest throughout the night was impossible due to festival noise / loud techno singing / megaphone announcements,” the statement read. “Morrissey drove from Milan to Valencia but has been unable to rest in Valencia due to noise […] Circumstances render the show impossible.”
The Spanish embassy in the UK later poked fun at Morrissey over the reasoning behind his last-minute cancellation. See a complete list of every gig that Morrissey has cancelled since 2012 here.
In other news, Morrissey has claimed responsibility for the initial idea for the iconic photograph of The Smiths taken outside Salford Lads Club, and corrected Johnny Marr about the history of the band signing with Rough Trade.
He has also been announced as one of the headline acts for this year’s CBGB Festival in New York in September, alongside the likes of Patti Smith, Interpol and Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter.
