I'm so jealous....you guys really get all the treats.

Can anyone enlighten me ? where is Preston?

San Francisco too! What's Sharon Meadows like, and the weather around that time of September - is it still hot?

Tears for Fears, I wonder who else will be added to the list.

Nice to see that, FOR ONCE, Morrisseymusic.com is providing timely official information. It IS kind of annoying to have rumors be the best way to find stuff out!

Kill uncle tour "only UK date" Wembley arena. I buy a ticket and Liverpool is announced after wembely sells out. I am 19 years old and trek all the way to london alone to see my hero when all my mates who were not as fanatical and were not that bothered get to go to a gig on my doorstep and it was not a gig that fell on its backside because of poor sound!

Midland festival Battersea power station, only gig that year, until i bought a ticket and then as if by magic after i buy a ticket Chester gets announced for the following day! So off to London again whilst my less fanatical friends get to go to the Chester gig, again on my doorstep and the power station as a venue is lacking in a lot, Chester on the other hand was apparently breathtaking.

Now Blackpool and yet again Liverpool announced. How many times am I going to get gigs on my doorstep announced after I have bought tickets for alternative gigs that are miles away! Will Blackpool now be crap and Liverpool be stunning, or will god do me the favour of making my less fanatical friends suffer for once and give me the gig of the tour?

Good god Moz, there must be a better way to plan a tour than this, help us all out here please as my finances are stretched as it is and i am not sure i can stretch to a 4th gig this year.

Whatever happens though......we love you, so we must be insane!

Ive got to go through Newcastle to get home after the Bridlington gig. yes, yes, yes !!!!

Newcastle City Hall is a bit of a crap venue, I saw Paul Weller and Pulp there and there was no atmosphere, its all seated and they stewards are really strict and enforce a no dancing policy, infact most people sit down. Add this to the fact that I dont know a single other Moz fan in Newcastle (its hardly music loving territory up here) and this might be an interestingly subdued gig, I cant really believe Morrissey is playing their to be honest, he'd get a much better reception and atmosphere at the Student Union. Oh well I shallnt be able to go anyway as I would have moved to Manchester by then, but I shall look forward to the reports with awe as I really dont think its the sort of venue Moz should play in Newcastle.

From America to England to Europe back to America back to England .. aren't you forgetting AUSTRALIA?! *cries*

lol almost everyone one of my posts in the past 6 months has been whining about this :P

I do wish he would announce dates all in one go.
My plans (and my friends) for Blackpool have now gone out of the window as she can only go to one date and I have no where to stay!
I'll be trying for Liverpool tickets (this is on said friends birthday) whenever they go onsale.
Does anyone know what the venue is like? Capacity?

wooo Preston is 10 miles from my house

Do not rush to buy tickets. Wait til all the gigs are announced. There might be one nearer you.
Moz has a fanatical but fairly small fanbase. You will easily get tickets for your local venue, even if it has sold out. Do not buy off the greedy Moz-hating bastards on E-bay! Touts will struggle to get face-value during the hour or two before Moz goes on stage even if they go for £100 + on e-bay.
Moz is doing loads of gigs in the UK this year, when you include the festivals. I guarantee he will venture further south. He is being a little bit naughty by announcing these dates bit by bit. His fanbase is not anywhere near as big as McCartney's, Coldplay's, or Oasis's. His fanbase is devoted but pretty small.
Trust me on this! (I got a return ticket for Meltdown incredibly easily off the box office).

god BG, do you never sleep? do you just trawl the net all day for morrissey news to post on this site?

that some of you were saying yesterday in another thread about how horrible the official site is? just curious..

"what robert smith needs is a haircut and a trim spa" - morrissey

who says he only plays the south of england?

...every single non-festival date has been in the bloody north. should I hold out for more UK dates to be announced while these shows sell out in about half a millisecond?

why is mozz announcing 2 or 3 gigs at a time when hes jetting to uk and usa back and forth.
would be better if he could announce a 25 date proper uk gig so every1 could plan stuff.

...more please...

Yipee - what amazing news! Our Liverpool banner with "There is A light That Never Goes Out" emblazoned on it will appear in its home town venue for the big Morrissey gig!!!! Wow - maybe Moz meeting the Bootle Bruisers the other month at the Lowry Hotel inspired him to return to our fine city. He played teh venue in 1999. A Truly amazing show. royal court holds 2,500 people. Around 1,200 standing tickets. A very intimate venue really - great atmosphere guaranteed.

It must be boring for him to play the same songs night after night.

So let's hope for his sake, as well as ours, that he makes some changes in the setlist.

if moz doesnt add some dates on the south coast i will acuse him of being regionalist and i dont mean london as its always london!you see the luck weve had could make good men bad.

It's great that moz opens new dates, but.... when the hell will he come to Mexico? He just wrote the song Mexico and he forgot us.

Let's not have the same songs from MENA, Move, Glasto, Meltdown etc, again please.

please, please ,let me get what i want this time and come back to Belfast

Why on earth is Morrissey playing Preston AND Blackpool?? Can't believe he's going back to Preston Guildhall in the first place - surely he can't have forgotten October 1986??

I just hope I can get a ticket, see you there:)

I've just noticed that WayAhead/See [wayahead.com] still have Bridlington tickets on sale (as at 9pm BST, 12th Aug). I'm posting this cos I thought they'd all gone - I've already got mine but in case anyone thought they'd missed out...

Who cares? What about the good old USA particularly Southern California when will he come to see his stepchildren? I miss Moz!

Morrissey in Newcastle, should be amazing. I went to the MEN gig and thought it would be my only chance to see Moz, not being too fond of festivals and also being a bit poor, so I`m pretty excited to be seeing the great man in my hometown.

I do sympathise for those who live in Europe, Mexico, Australia, Japan etc who haven`t been able to see Mozzer recently.

You can fly to Newcastle pretty cheaply on easyjet from Berlin, Paris and Prague.

follow the link on Morrisseymusic - early release tickets are 9am Tuesday morning.

it came up at about 6pm UK time today ( friday )

does this mean that I'm finally the first to post a newsworthy item on here ??

He's confirming UK dates and cancelling US ones. Why doesn't he just stay and do a lovely tour here and then go to the States? He can't go back and forth.

Just been to the Royal Court Box Office and was told that tickets don't go on sale from there until 9 am on Wednesday.

I'm trying to buy a seated ticket for Preston but it doesn't tell you what seat it is! Do all the best seats (ie front few rows of the circle) get sold in the pre-sale or am I best hanging on til I can phone the venue or book seats via a website that tells you where you'll be seated? I don't think Preston Guildhall is a venue where the seating isn't allocated, is it? The only reason I'm going for a seated ticket is that I can't queue early so I want a guaranteed decent-ish seat.
