Morrissey is here to help his fans “Please, Please, Please Let (them) Get What (they) Want.”
The former Smiths frontman just announced a late summer/early fall 2025 tour that will send him to arenas, music halls and theaters all over North America.
That includes a stop at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall on Tuesday, Sept. 16 and a huge gig at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome with special guest Social Distortion on Saturday, Oct. 25.
Prior to this nationwide run, Moz had 12 shows booked this past spring but postponed the bulk of them after he was afflicted with a sudden illness.
“Following the [April 30] show at The Fox in Bakersfield, Morrissey contracted a severe sinusitis attack and was treated at Coronado Hospital in San Diego,” a statement read. “Missed shows at Rancho Mirage [May 3] and San Diego [May 1] are not cancelled and now have new dates. Morrissey, the band and crew, are very appreciative of those who convey understanding at difficult moments during tours.”
At the three shows he did perform in the US this past spring, The Pope of Mope brought anywhere from 18-20 songs onstage, according to Set List FM. Those included a handful of The Smiths favorites as well as solo classics.

At the time of publication, he has yet to put out his two long rumored albums “Bonfire of Teenagers” and “Without Music The World Dies.”
“As you know, nobody will release my music anymore,” Morrisey said while performing at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center according to the Asbury Park Press. “As you know because I’m a chief exponent of free speech. In England at least, it’s now criminalized. You cannot speak freely in England. If you don’t believe me, go there. Express an opinion, you’ll be sent to prison. It’s very, very difficult.”
In the meantime, you can check out his most recent single, 2022’s “Rebels Without Applause.”
