Oporto (Oct. 29), Copenhagen (Oct. 24), Spain (no dates), France (no dates) -- more details

Looks like the dates in Spain are not happening. There are no dates listed from Oct. 26-28 on the recently printed tour t-shirts.

I have received many inquiries as to why Morrissey is not playing a date in France during this tour. Here's a possible reason, from Aubry:

As you have probably noticed, Morrissey will tour all European countries except France.

There's a reason. He was to be the headline of the Inrockuptibles festival which occurs in November, but officials from the magazine told us that he was "too expensive" asking for more than 40 000$ per show. They could have done a little effort!

From Rui Alves:

The tickets for the Oporto concert (Oct. 29) went on sale on October 6th.

Info on the Copenhagen concert (Oct. 24) from Carsten Pedersen:

About Morrissey and his former gigs in Denmark (in Danish).

About The Grey Hall - Den Grå Hal (in Danish).

Some general info on The Grey Hall:
Capacity: 1800
Location: the heart of Copenhagen

It says that The Grey Hall is situated at the heart of Copenhagen...this is true, that's not the whole story : )

It is actually in the middle of Christiania, a sort of enclave close to the center that doesn't exactly obey all the usual Danish laws. For instance Marijuana is sold openly in the streets, and the police don't patrol there...But it's very nice and not entirely unfitting for a Morrissey concert : )

40 000 $ for him or for the whole band????

What about the "we want to play live" explanation???

I think it's "I need money for my new house in LA" the right explanation...

I'd pay more to see Morrissey live, if I had it. Sorry, W...
