Bigmouth strikes again: did Morrissey’s website leak his Australian tour dates?

DETAILS of Morrissey’s Australian tour have leaked online — but is the former Smiths frontman really skipping Sydney in favour of gigs in Wollongong and Newcastle?

Big-mouth strikes again: Has Morrissey just leaked his own Australian tour dates?

MORRISSEY has seemingly leaked details of his own Australian tour.

The UK singer’s semi-official website True To You listed his confirmed concerts for the rest of 2016, including an Australian leg.

The site lists dates at Melbourne’s Festival Hall on October 22, Adelaide’s Thebarton Theatre on October 26, Canberra’s Royal Theatre on October 28, Wollongong’s WIN Centre on October 29 and Newcastle Civic Theatre on October 31.

Big-mouth strikes again: Morrissey fans are hoping the leak is real.

The lack of Sydney dates is no doubt due to the fact Morrissey’s last Australian visit was four Sydney-only shows for last year’s Vivid Festival.

While shows in Wollongong and Newcastle may seem random, Morrissey once tried to route an Australian tour to include shows in the outback.

“Yes, it was planned, but the offers didn’t cover the travel expenses, so we couldn’t do it,” Morrissey told News Corp in 2012.

The former singer of The Smiths starts his tour in Kentucky on September 20 before heading to Asia and returning to the US in November.

Louder than bombs: Morrissey’s iconic band The Smiths in the mid 1980s.
