More shows to be added - rumor
Okay, this is pretty much a rumor since I at this point I can't verify it 100% to be true. I've been unofficially tipped off to the following:

Supposedly, the Manchester gig is not a one-off. It is not even the start of the tour.
Supposedly, there are more dates to be added BEFORE the Manchester gig.
Supposedly, a second M.E.N. show will be added (May 23) if the first one sells out.
Supposedly, some of the the additional shows will be announced next week.

I just got off the phone with two of my booking friends in Texas and they have been asked for dates in Dallas and Austin in "clubs" by CAA for Morrissey shows in early Spring... I also talked to a booker in Chicago who hasn't been offered anything to date, so this looks like it would primarily be a southwest tour.

    Morrissey, The Southwest is Not the United States!! Try coming to the midwest, the east, the north. You haven't played Detroit in 4 years but that music hotbed that is (not) Phoenix, we can't keep you out of!!

        Well I live in the Southwest and frankly I like it here. I am from Austin, which is an awesome city by the way and I would love to see him play here. I know all of this is speculation at this point, but it is great to dream. He hasn't played anywhere in Texas besides El Paso since 92. I hope he has gotten over any hatred for this region. Yes Texas has some idiots living here or who are from here, but don't blame the rest of us. I know our president sucks, but it isn't our fault. Anyway, please Morrissey play in Texas this time. And to all the jerk-offs that bash other cities I must ask if you have anything better to do with your time. I mean who really finds the time to argue in these forums about the Southwest sucks and all of this bs. Grow up.
