Morrissey has an official web page morrisseymusic.com, that's just announced single and album release dates, but also the date and place of his next gig. The Manchester Evening News Arena on May the 22nd tickets to go on sale Saturday 28th February. Is this the best post you've had this year?

The manchester arena has a capacity of about 21000 so a lot of potential customers on the first week of release.
Im not sure if it was morrissey that said recently that the only way artists can make money now is by touring and selling merchandise there is very little to be made in the way of album sales these days.
I hope to god it is genuine and not a hoax.

Let's break it down. 30 Pounds for a Ticket. = $50, be online the moment they go on sale, or have a friend in the UK by an extra tick for you.
Cheap flight via Travelocity, Priceline, etc., booked in March roundtrip to Manchester from USA = $400, and I've confirmed this price via LAX.
Stay with friends in the UK (free) or the Youth Hostel in Manchester = 15 Pounds or $25 USD per night. 3 Nights = $75.
Food: Chips & curry, Fish & Chips, Cadbury Chocolates, crisps, fruits, veggies, don't cost much.
Total Expenses = about $600 U.S.D.
Seeing Morrissey on his birthday in Manchester, Priceless.

Speaking of interesting things... I never would have expected to see Morrissey pose with a gun XD. I was always under the impression that maybe he was against them-- which conflicts with my opinion :P.
I've never seen that pic before, so I'm guessing it's new. Perhaps this is a sign of what's to come for the album cover?

It is possible that a large company like Sanctuary would have a domain in care of network solutions but highly unlikely.
The site is being hosted by a company called Interland out of Atlanta, GA.
now, lets take a look at the actual sanctuary site. Hosted by a company called Ripe Net. Rarely would a company use different hosts for its sites.

"'You Are The Quarry', Morrissey's first album for seven years, is nearing completion in LA and will be released by Attack! Records, through Sanctuary on May 17, preceded by the single 'Irish Blood, English Heart' on May 10th."
This may be a legitimate site, but I would hope they clear up some of these minor issues to avoid being called out any further.

I think, if this should be a hoax, it must be a very professional hoax from a person or a company, who has too much time to spend in life.
I prefer to believe, that this message is true. I think, Morrissey knows, that this record-deal is his last chance in his life. He is in good conditions (as we all have seen on the last tour) and now he wants the tribute from the audience, he thinks, he is worth to get.
He will try all, to push this record and why not a gig on his 45th birthday in his city?!
Finally we all wiser, when next Saturday is coming and we don't have the opportunity to order our tickets (so quickly, that we still don't need the Observer afterall).
But another thing: Has anyone tried, to download mp3's vie Kazaa or Emule in the last days?? There are many pseudo-files with songs from the new album (totally 11 or 12 different titles). But no one works. This seems very strange to me. Does anyone knows the original source of these files??

Can any of you good people put me up in Mozchester for the night?
I'm originally from Failsworth (North Manchester) but I now live in Newcastle, so I'll be coming down on the train / coach.
My family has moved away from the area, and I'd rather avoid staying with distant relatives for one night (I'm sure you understand!).
I know this post will get a score of -367, but if I find a friendly person who is willing to put me up, it'll be well worth it!

It comes across that he and others are confident of the power and direction of the new album.
What WE need to do,hoax or not,is support it.If you can afford a couple of copies,get them-give them to your friends (though not your front row tickets if you're lucky enough!) and try to be part of the Morrissey extended family.It takes the capacity of the Manchester Theatre to get a No.1 single these days....let's do it.
Personally,I think the single is wicked.Being born in England of Irish parents it means so much more.

Last year Moz pointed out in an interview with Citylife magazine that he had been given an offer to do the MEN. He said he would "Love to do it".
Instead of contacting the MEN arena, has anyone contacted gigs and tours?

Given that tickets - allegedly - go on sale within the next seven days, "Sanctuary Records" must do something, without delay, to allay our concerns.
ps. Isn't £27.50 more than a little excessive? (more to the point, is it justifiable?)
Have called the venue; won't confirm the gig yet (Score:1)
I have just called the ticket line for the Manchester Evening News Arena (tel +44 (0)870 190 8000) and asked whether they could confirm Moz is playing the MEN Arena on May 22 - they said it wasn't on their computer system BUT that it probably wouldn't be until a few days before the tickets go on sale.
Only thing for it is to contact them later on in the week to check. I will keep you posted...

PS. For the record, I think the whole thing (website, gig etc) is genuine, but I WANT to believe! I'll be having a party after the show in the hotel bar if anyone wants to meet up - I'll bring my iPod with every Moz/Smiths record too so we can have a proper aftershow party!

But I can't believe this will be a one-off show. The first nights of Morrissey tours tend not to go particularly well (technical problems, songs immediately dropped from set lists etc) and I can't believe Moz would risk all this at such a high profile gig. Believe you me, there'll be other shows alright!

Flights are about £60.
