[tweetmeme]Just hours after announcing a pair of high-profile arena concerts in New York and Los Angeles, Morrissey this morning has unveiled a full 25-date U.S. tour this May and June that will hit many of the cities and venues that saw cancellations — some multiple times — during the former Smiths singer’s disastrous late-2012 and early-2013 American tour.
Announced via semi-official fansite True To You, the tour — which precedes a new studio album later this year — opens May 7 in San Jose and wraps up June 21 in Brooklyn, and includes the two arena shows announced last night and the concerts in Dallas and Boston that leaked out earlier this week via Ticketmaster. See full dates below.
Aside from the two arena shows, most of the dates are at theaters and opera houses.
Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday, Feb. 21.
Morrissey’s last U.S. dates abruptly ended in May 2013 over “ongoing medical problems,” at which time the singer declared, “I hope this isn’t the end, and I hope there will be other chances.”
