I just checked the Hollywood Bowl's website and nothing is scheduled for June 1st, which is a Saturday.

This is beautiful.

If this is true, I'm going to be bouncing off the walls....what a great combination!!!

although this pairing sounds novel and clever in theory, i don't see how this would be a productive gig other than for the publicity of it all.

i hope for everyone's sake that this is just a rumor. otherwise, i predict another finsbury park fiasco.

For all of the non-spanish speaking people out there, Jaguares is a pretty good band. I like them a lot but the music they play sounds nothing like Morrissey's music.
I don't see this happening at all. I think this is just a poor attempt at giving some publicity to the band by some fan.
I wouldn't beleive it unless I saw a printed ticket in my hand.
Common people let's not get silly here, please.

Well, I for one, would not care to see Morrissey open for Jaguares. On the other hand, if it were the other way around, it may be tolerable. More rumors, more rumors . . . THis one is more than likely not to occur. Let us see if my rumor will get posted next, "Morrissey opening up for Nickelback with very special guest, Donnie Wahlberg!"

Are The Jaguares that popular, that they could fill the Hollywood Bowl AND have Morrissey open for them? I,for one, have never heard of them.

I checked the link to NME, but New Order is not booked for July 3rd, but for Julh 13rd... so we still don't know who is the special guest...

It is not that I, as a Mexican, don´t feel proud about Jaguares´ success outside our country, they have been great.

But Morrissey shouldn´t open for them, I mean, their music is not that compatible, besides, who should be opening for who?

Well inside camp Jaguares, I heard Saul (lead singer) saying he didn´t like Morrissey (1992).

I know it is now familiar to see Mexican flags and yells of "Me-xi-co! Me-xi-co!" at Moz´s shows.

There are a fes bands in México that could play alongside with Moz, but Jaguares certainly is not one of them. I mean, they´re not as awful as (even bigger) Maná. But the only thing in common shared by Jaguares and Moz is their admiration for David Bowie.

Did I imagine the tour announcements on Easter Sunday? I've just looked on Morrissey tour and can't see them!Including UK dates

it just happened so watch out!

I mean it.

Jaguares is a very good Spanish-Rock band that has been around for a very long time, *note* their success is very huge due to their loyal fans and devotes that are, to some fanatic degree, the same to Morrissey devotes.

More than anything, I do think that Morrissey and Saul do share some things in common, their passion for compassion. Morrissey has written witty and comical lyrics about the royal family, and Saul continues to embrace humanity and support the indigenous people of Mexico.

However, I can’t imagine this event happening. Like someone said…. who would open up for who?! Even if it did happen, tickets would be hard to find. Yes, jaguares does sell out most of their shows in the Los Angeles area.

You've got to be f*cken kidding! What a disgraceful idea. That band is the Mexican equivalant of the Cure for England. Their fans here in the States rank amongst the biggest posers and wannabees. They follow the leader of course, in this case the bands they adore. Jaguares is got to be by far one of the most over-rated bands in the world. Why could no one think of Morrissey playing in the company of another group of more respectable and worthy people? It would be great to think of the possibility of Moz playing in the same venue with maybe Cafe Tacuba (as Beck has done) or with someone who shares many things in common with Moz himself, Mr. Gustavo Cerati. The latter would be the most perfect of combinations ever assembled.

the equivalent to The Cure HA HA HA HA .. they wish! who the heck is Saul and his saga ? they're nobody..
Im sure this is an april's joke .. Morrissey would NEVER open for anyone ..ha ha ha ..It's too much to ask for him
  ..unless they'd pay a juicy amount which I dont think this particularly decadent,talentless band has...
el nervio del volcan..
eeeewwwwwww...

what a tacky rumour.

funny that some of his fans simply hate mexicans, and there you'll find mr. morrissey opening for a mexican band. it's a smash on some faces, i love it, really. ha ha ha

Morrissey a an opener for another band?

Never, it went wrong twice [david bowie and
Madness reunion concert weekend at Finsbury park.

Who the f.uck is that band anyway?

Morrissey opening for them, bwahhhaaaaahaaaa

Nothing on Ticketmaster, nothing on Pollstar, nothing on the Hollywood Bowl website. Give us a break, please!

I don't think that Morrissey would want to be an opening act. Although I like Jaguares, I think it's the other way around. Jaguares would be very happy if they had a chance to open for Morrissey and so would we (his adoring fans). What do you think about that?
Love, and see you fans at the convention
Sweetness

Let's see Heroes Del Silencio get back together and Moz would be able to open up for them. It's highly doubtful that Moz can sell out the Hollywood Bowl on his own but Morrissey doesn't need to be the opening act for no one if it's at a smaller venue.

si davidt l'a posté le 2 avril, c'est peut etre qu'il l'a reçu le 1er avril, alors c'est un joli poisson, un peu craignos quand même

There are NO plans for Jaguares and Morrissey to tour, and this is per Jaguares mgmt.

Jaguares, well I'm not sure, maybe if they could go back to being Caifanes, then maybe, then, I know, I know, the horrid demands. Soda Stereo, yes, well I believe their booked, oh no, no, I misunderstood, they have parted ways, hmm, life always rearing it's ugly head. Umm, well the show must go on.

Later the same week after the Jaguares show, Moz will open for Los Hermanos Rosario & Juan Luis Guerra at the Tropicana Club at W. 158 & Broadway in NYC for Merengue Fest '02. Then he jets down to Miami to open for Shakira in front of 100,000.

In a related story, Mike Joyce says he will be releasing exclusive unreleased Bachatas and Salsa remixes (minus vocals) of the Strangeways sessions on his fabulous website.

Oh well...Spanish from Mexico? Oh dear I think they look pretty Mexican to me, don´t you find?

Le Barón du Tagomago

In a way it is believable and it is not.
Why would Moz open up to a bunch of latinos that will ignore him. Only die hard fans will be interested. Poor Moz, he is really trying
too, too, hard to reach out to the latinos.
This fetish is getting a bit old
I love Moz I believe he is too good to be opening for anyone, he needs to really has to get a grip on himself i know that his fans are the most loyalest fans that any could have.
But dont be suprised if moz opens for los Bookies or los Tucanes de Tijuana.

Before I get my shot gun and start blasting on all the nerdos here who yap and yap let me just say: I love Moz' music but he would have to open for Jaguares (if this was to be true.) Geographically speaking both bands have huge fans in LA that would mind paying whatever price. Also dont mock a certain band for the fact that u dont know or understand the music. Jaguares has worked with gutarrist Andrwew Belew which has played with Bowie. Also they have worked with producer Don Was. Jaguares music is distinct and somewhat more superior to Morrissey's band. If moz and jaguares were to release an album at the same time worlwide, Jaguares will defenetly sell more. Moz music is still great. Now what.

i am soooo excited about this opening thing for jaguares because morrissey is my fav. artist in english (the smiths too, of course) and jaguares are my favorite rock en espanol band. to have them both play at the same concert is going to be one of the happiest moments of my 19 years of life!!!!! :-D

This is never happening!!!!!! Get over it!
I'm tired of hearing about stupid Jagueres. If u love them so much and want to talk about them, go do it at their site. If they have one.
If you've forgotten already this is a Morrissey web site.

so if he did and does not want to, then why? you know.

This truly is a sad day for those moz fans out there. Having the one person they look up to opening up for another act. I guess we all know where Morrissey is now, don't we? Jaguares is a good band. I can't say anything bad about them. Viva Saul Hernandez!!!

The only thing that Morrissey has in common with Jaguars is his new blue Jaguar, car, and thats about it.

Morrissey said in 1984 that he thought The Smiths appearing at the Glastonbury Festival was a mistake because there were many people who could not care less about the band. The Finsbury Park gig was bad PR and supporting Bowie made him 'ill'.
Please Morrissey, don't go 'supporting' anyone else.

you wish, burrito!!!
LOL
Jaguares doesn't even have one tenth of The Moz artistic level, and you want The Man to open for them.
Dream on.

Espero que este rumor sea solo eso ya que jaguares esta muy lejos de la estética de Morrissey ,la banda es popular pero es realmente mala, con dotes de poesia barata.
Lejos de morrissey

What is going on in this whole message board, makes me sick, as a matter of fact, it's the most RIDICULOUS thing I have heard all yr. Why is it that rumors love to follow my god and yours Morrissey??? why??? HOPEFULLY this is a RUMOR and it does happen, it will be a sad day for the world of Moz.

*the queen has left the building.

Que, que?! Say what?! I'm sorry, but that doesn't sound right. Moz opening for Jaguares? Nope. That doesn't sound right. Best thing to do is call the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, California and ask for Customer Service (or the like) and ask for an update on upcoming events for the month of June. That's the only real way to know "si SI! O si NO!"

L8R.

SAAVE

I like the Jaguares. I love rock en espanol. But Morrissey is too good to open for anyone!!! He's even too good to open for La Ley (the best rock en espanol band on earth!). La Ley's singer, Beto cuevas loves him! La Ley even covered Girlfriend in a Coma, but I know that La Ley would gladly open for Morrissey any day!

End of story!

According to the Jaguares website, they will be nowhere near the Hollywood Bowl. They will be in Panama for a show on that date:

http://jaguares.com/tour.htm

"Junio 1, Panamá @ La Boom"

So if they are playing together, it won't be on June 1........

Actually my dear anonymous I believe their last vinyl under the name Caifanes came out sometime in 94/95 under the name of El Nervio del Volcan. Umm, after all this speculation of this supposed date together my curiousity got the better of me and I had to inquire. Umm, however I'm not sure if you can name me a Jaguares fan just quite yet. I did however learn something new, hmm, and I was convinced I would never use this new information, well I've rambled on enough, hmm.

Love always.
