Thought I'd check in on Labour & they're all screeching at Paul Mason that he's an anti-Catholic sectarian bigot.

It's like we're a sitcom...

By the time Moz plays Leeds & London there won't be anyone who hasn't been called a bigot left in the UK.

We know Skinny, switch the channel you are boring the members.

Price is an issue for me, anything above £80 and I ain't going, not that I haven't got the £80, but £50 a ticket and they'll both sell out.

Leeds standing is £95 plus fees.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I haven't seen him since 2011 and have no plans on changing that.

Good for you! seriously.

And you won’t be listening to his next record ? and I guess you’ll stop coming to this site also? I mean, that would be the next logical move.

Hope the others that dislike Moz that come here follow your good example. It’s really the sanest thing to do.

 

[general disarray]

Guess the plan is to only announce 2 UK concerts at the moment to see how the sales reaction is
Cant stand arena shows so will give these a miss, plus I dont fancy standing in the same room as a lot of Morrissey's new fanbase. Particularly those ones running the Tommy Robinson merchandise stall

There will be no TR rabble going, I don't think they like his music all of a sudden because of what he's said.

 

[Girlmostlikely]

GET IN LADS!!!!!!! RESULT

Just hope he improves the Setlists, hope he brings back 'The Operation' or at least 1 Southpaw classic.

Hairdresser on Fire would be nice since he hasn't played it in the UK recently due to all the snowflakes getting the last shows shut down.

Lets hope these go ahead in the UK!

Yes!! Southpaw! The operation would be so fun.

 

[Girlmostlikely]

This announcement is great news! I really like the image oh, it's a good tour poster!

Why? This site is an absolute scream. You nutters are pure gold. Gold, I tell ya!!! Lol!

He loves himself in his glitter outfit and pouting mouth. A mouth that has said some dreadful things.
Morrissey is not such a wonderful chap anymore, no matter how glittery he dresses his tarnished image.

Life / reality is full of 'some dreadful things'. We don't live in a nice pc world where if we all just hold hands and wish really hard, all the badness will go away.

Give over Gordy
He looks like Susan Boyle with his grey mad hair do. And that hideous green costume looks like something from Thunderbirds.
The fuse box has definitely tripped, it’s such a shame that the people around him don’t have the balls to reset it.

Benjamin you get back to flogging your sausages,this is a site for adults.

 

[gordyboy9]

Yes!! Southpaw! The operation would be so fun.

the operation drum solo started shows in 2009 0or 2010.would be fun to hear the whole song.

gordy, here's a quick reminder. Still impressive:

 

[gordyboy9]

anybody moaning about the price,just seems normal for these arenas,bryan ferry in Glasgow hydro is £93,sisters are going to see simly red in a smaller venue £60.

I think you've got to expect to be paying c.£100; money well spent I think for the experience & the memories you'll have forever. What price can you put on that?

Just some rough calcs on Leeds: capacity is c.13500, if we say each ticket was £100, & he sold say 12000, revenue in the region of £1.2m. I know costs would need to come out of it, but not bad for a night's work.

SSE London is similar, slightly less capacity 12500, so potentially c.£2m over 2 concerts.

£££££ kerching.

As long as you make sure not to miss Amsterdam if it’s going to be on the list

Hi Johan, nice to see you're still lurking here. I would have been tempted by Cologne back in the (not-so) old days as it's a great city but I can't justify travelling to see Morrissey to myself, my cat, my partner or seemingly my bank manager.
