While listening to Richard Blade's flashback lunch on KROQ (106.7fm), here in Los Angeles, Richard mentioned that Johnny Marr is going to perform with Beck at the Coachella Music Festival the Opening Night. Curiously enough, that is the same night Morrissey is set to open. Richard later goes on to mention how it would be a treat if Morrissey and Marr teamed up again for old times sake. Nevertheless, the Coachella Music Festival is going to be a moment not to forget in Morrissey fan history.

Update (8/7): Looks like a rumor rather than a fact, according to this note from Jose Maldonado.

Andrea Scholz from The International Booking Department & Management Munich/Germany, who booked Morrissey in 1997 for Hamburg, sent me this German e-mail on the 3rd of August 1999 because I ask them about information about a Morrissey tour 1999:

"hallo,

wir buchen diesmal nur Muenchen und Wien am 16./17.10.
die anderen daten macht Sunrise darum herum
gruss
Andrea"

In English:

"hello,

This time we will only book Munich (Germany) and Vienna (Austria) on the 16th and 17th of October. The other dates around this time will be booked by Sunrise, Ticket-Hotline 040 - 227431-31/41 ).

Greetings
Andrea"
