Right now there is no link to any details yet but that list has a lot of huge names on it.

EDIT: Apparently he's been on there for months. Someone else posted this link a while back. Strange he announced it on TTY as news unless he left and came back to them.

I found this by posting and seeing the related articles which said what I said. :/

fromt the B-52's rider

1. Kate & Cindy do not wear their hair in ‘Beehives’ nowadays. Kate will wear
her hair down and has a hairpiece (human hair) for the top of her head to add
volume. Cindy will make a decision about her hair style on the day of the show.
Cindy’s stylists need to be skilled at both creating up-do’s and also with
styling long hair. Please note that both women have hair extensions. Please
review the photos at the links prior to the show date for some examples.

This one is from Tool's rider. I wonder how it compares to the Morrissey policy.

Barricade
All barricade personnel should remain stationary with their backs against the downstage edge. Barricade
crew is responsible for a designated zone directly in front of them. Hands should remain out of pockets with
their arms at side, not crossed. In the event of a patron coming over the barricade, there should be no more
than two security guards responding. All other barricade personnel should shift to compensate for the open
space until responding guards return. It is preferred that security carry out ejections in-between songs or
while lights are down to prevent the appearance of rough handling in the bandʼs presence. If a patron makes
it onto the stage the pit crew should NOT access the stage in pursuit. Tour personal security will secure the
stage jumper. Moshing and crowd surfing should be heavily discouraged. Barricade personnel should NOT
watch the show. Any barricade staff member caught watching the show will be relieved. Staff is asked not to
give patrons

And now the fabulous Mr David Byrne's Rider.....he really is the bee's knee's live you know


(6) lunch: at 12:00 pm for Producer’s crew , drivers and local crew, for (12)
Two (2) of the crew are vegetarians, although they eat fish so technically they are
fishaterians, but that sounds like a religious cult, so maybe we should stick with
ungulate-challenged quasi-herbivores.

So far, my favorite comes from the band, 'Sugar Ray' which includes these items among others:

(6) Balance bars assorted flavors
(1) framed autographed picture of Don Knotts
(4) Assorted Flavored Power Bars

I am now a fan of Sugar Ray!

That's a riot. My friend manages a venue in Boston and sees all kinds of crazy things on riders. A lot of them are just there to see if you are paying attention. A traveling DJ (I think it was Deadmau5 but it might have been David Guetta) had "100 pairs of socks" on it.

It's one thing to be a jerk, at least Sugar Ray has a sense of humour about it.

I can't remember if it was on that site or not, but one of his tour riders was leaked on here a couple of years ago and it was pretty good reading. He was nothing like the "diva" people paint him as - his requests were things like brown bread, Irish butter, fruit, milk, cheese, clean towels and the odd scented candle!

Morrissey's rider for Israel show 2009

"Morrissey demands a private car with a professional driver available to drive him at any time. The car must be black with dark windows: if a Mercedes S-500 is not available, then a Lexus, BMW or Jaguar will also be accepted".

Ugh, I think I may have to retract what I said about him not being a diva...

 

[Pokey]

Faith No More:

"The band & crew will require 3 dozen (36) pre-washed, large bath towels.
NO BAR TOWELS ON ORDER OF DEATH
Please have all towels pre washed, dry and fluffy*, just for us


*Fluffy like a baby bunny rabbit on a summers day"


taking the piss, love it.

I don't think it is so much about being a diva but more about providing clear instructions so there is no confusion. These things sometimes have to point out the tiniest details so nothing is left to interpretation. Imagine what would happen to his street cred if he was being driven around in a fiat panda.

Well in a normal car, he'd be much less likely to be "recognised", so if it's a matter of privacy then I think a super-car probably isn't the best idea.
