As promised, Morrissey is adding dates to his previously announced summer tour — and not just the four Scandinavian concerts he touted in a recent and somewhat surly open letter to his fans, but he’s now tacked on three additional shows in his native U.K. as well this July.
Moz’s tour originally was to run from June 15 to July 2, comprising 10 U.K. dates that include slots at the Glastonbury and Hop Farm music festivals. According to updates posted this weekend to fan site True To You — which Morrissey seems to prefer using over his own official site to spread information — the ex-Smiths frontman has added three more U.K. dates in July plus two concerts apiece in Denmark and Sweden.
Still not word, however, when we might see the new album Moz says he’s finished.
