Israel concert changes venue, Siouxsie cancels; demands list

According to Israeli news site YNet (Hebrew), Morrissey's concert moved from Park ha'Yarkon to Ganey ha'Ta'arucha (a smaller, and IMO much better venue) due to unsatisfactory ticket sales. Also, Siouxsie Sioux's performance was canceled "due to bureaucratic reasons". She will be replaced by Israeli singer Asaf Avidan.

YNet also published Morrissey's demands list from the concert production (Hebrew). My translation.

He preaches to others about their diets and yet he tucks into animal products such as milk and cheese? I can't follow that? And Morrissey drinking Fanta Orange? Very disappointing. It's almost as boring as his bottom. And he's cutting corners with his squeezed orange. Why not eat the real thing, Morrissey? And no mention of porridge oats or soya beans? Not a very good diet at all. And the scented candle is the icing on the cake. We're entering Plug-In Glade Air Freshener Territory there! I thought this man was intelligent - or is he just lazy?

Yes, I'm a bit sad for reading these things, I am obsessed with Morrissey, his songs, the person he is. Yet what he decides to eat is a matter for him, I really couldn't care less. I'm just looking for a few more gig dates. So, to the people going on about his diet, just, for God's sake, get a bloody life!!!!

                                  This evening I was entertained in the cinema by one of the films Lior Askenazi presented to Morrissey, called The Band's Visit. The band in question is an Egyptian police orchestra who get lost for 24 hours the day before their engagement at an Israeli venue. It's a sweet gem, and ends triumphantly, as I hope does Morrissey's visit!

                                  I also saw Yoshi and Jagger on DVD a week ago, about 2 guys in the Israeli army which is engaging but not as revealing about ordinary life.

                                  According to one informative comment here, the new venue is if anything, more conducive to the performance than Hayarkon Park. It's a shame that Siouxsie couldn't sort the paperwork in time. As distant ticket procurement is an insurmountable hurdle, can anyone reassure that tickets should be available in the days running up to the event? To 29th July in Tel Aviv - lockheim - viva Moz!
