Morrissey this week confirmed the first three dates of a six-concert visit to Australia and New Zealand this December, including a show at the famed Sydney Opera House. The dates — in Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney — were announced, as usual, via fansite True To You. Two more concerts in Australia and one more in New Zealand are expected to be announced shortly. The shows Down Under immediately follow Moz’s 35-date U.S. tour, which wraps with a concert on Dec. 8 in Atlantic City, N.J.
Morrissey Australia/New Zealand tour dates:
Dec. 15: Vector Arena, Auckland, New Zealand
Dec. 19: Festival Hall, Melbourne, Australia
