Just as I was reading posts here, an email came in. I had written MEN arena a couple days ago at this link:

Below is my original email and the response I got back. It comes from smg-europe, who seem to handle all the big venues throughout the UK and Europe.

*my email address is blanked...I'd like to keep at least one spam-free address...

To Whom it May Concern,

Is there a Morrissey concert planned for May 22nd, 2004 at your venue?
Or is this a hoax?

Thank you.

I don't think it means the whole thing is a hoax. I'm sure the venue would tell people to stop lining up for Moz tickets if there wasn't a show, no?

Dont worry. The ticket booth staff are always the last to know. We had the same info coming from the Albert Hall in 2002. It's on.

Damn, are there STILL doubters?

They're gonna be sitting in their seats AT the concert, waiting for Morrissey to come on, and be like, "Hmm, I don't know, this still seems fishy, this is some hella elaborate hoax I tell ya...."

NME.com have confirmed the gig...
