Unfounded tour rumour-mill

In today's NME, there is an advert for some all-dayer-type gigs at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Manchester...the bands have been announced for the 11th and 12th of July but for the final date, all that is stated is "Very Special Artist - to be announced April 2nd."

So, "V.S. Artist" certainly fits and so does the place and time of year for the rumoured tour.

Remember where you heard it first!

I rang the ticket office of Birmingham Academy in Birmingham-England and the girl I spoke to said there were no dates arranged YET for Morrissey to play there in the summer. But she said she had heard the rumours herself that something was in the pipeline and she expected there would be some news in the next few weeks.

I came off the phone none the wiser but felt there is a light at the end of the tunnel and think there is a very good chance that the rumours are true of a summer UK tour. Let's keep our fingers crossed people.

      I'd be very surprised if that 'special guest' would be Moz. Who would he play with? And at Old Trafford too? Very,very unlikely.

        Although I don't know if they would play Old Trafford, with them being Man City supportors. Hope it's Moz, though!

        I hardly think that England would consider Moz a "very special guest" anymore. Sorry to say. Let's just hope he hits the US soon!!!

              I think Old Trafford Cricket club would definitely constitute a home tie for Morrissey - he could probably use his old bedroom to change in, it could hardly be closer.
              Am I right in thinking that the last time he played outdoors in the UK was Finsbury Park?! Not the best of omens.

                In my humble opinion, there will be a Morrissey
                tour, but no World tour, just some UK gigs,for
                the hope an UK recorcomponay will give that
                record deal he deserves for what he had done
                so far, it's unbelieveable that he has no deal
                yet.
                Morrissey has been focusing on the USA too long,
                yes he's populair, his fame still seems to be
                growing all over the USA, but no company is
                willing to give him that deal in this difficult
                period for every label because recordsales are
                going down fast, the past 2 ,3 years, since the
                the MP3 flow.
                To come to the point, he has forgotten his
                England and more, Europe, so my guess is he will
                do some Uk gigs, a few European Summerfestivals,
                maybe a few Californian [LA ] shows,but the
                main reason is to get a UK recorddeal [or a european] because he lost hope that it will happen in the USA .

                      Morrissey had shows booked and tickets sold for shows he probably never had intentions of performing in the Southeast US. I had tickets in hand for Morrissey: October 31st, 2000, Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater, Florida. So did many others. Please draw your own sensible conclusions.

                      'course...it would have been interesting to see Morrissey play on Marr's birthday.
