Can’t see him filling Co-op live nowadays. No other date in England though……yet!

Has been known to drip feed gigs.

40 years since I saw them last and all three of my kids are going together to see Morrissey in the same city. Feels kind of weird, especially as I’d rather stick pins in my eyes.

I am tempted by this but it will be shite won't it.

There is a danger that 80% of the crowd will be there for a bit of nostalgia and Morrissey will have a setlist that doesn’t fulfil that need!

He is better in smaller venues for me but I’m sure I’ll go and it’s been a couple of years since I last saw him (Troxy in London was the last time)

Saw him a few times around then.

I was at the MEN gig in 2004, the one that became the ‘Who put the M in Manchester’ film. That was spectacular.

Then around 05/06 I saw him at the Lowry (weird venue!), Apollo (it kicked off when some bloke punched a woman in the face over a thread of Morrissey’s shirt when he threw it into the crowd) and Gmex (I have absolutely no recollection of that gig, I was probably leathered).

Ridiculous venue. He struggles to sell small theatres on his last UK tour!




Checks prices of air travel……

So same as usual then!
Remember him headlining Glastonbury and opening with “Don’t make fun of daddy’s voice” lol
The face on the audience ha ha

No!
His concerts are getting better and better and his voice too over the years.

I’m waiting to see the prices first…..

What would you estimate?

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

What would you estimate?

If it’s anything like his US prices for May then £70 to £90
This is his chance (last chance) to fill a UK arena. Keep the prices low and it will be a great night. Charge a stupid price and only rhe hardcore lunatic fans (I include myself in that list) will be there.

Brilliant weekend
