Morrissey Kicks Off 2026 in Troubling Fashion with Concert Cancellations.
In the midst of a new year, Morrissey has continued his tradition of canceling or postponing concerts at the last minute. The singer's latest move comes just months after he rescheduled and then canceled numerous shows due to exhaustion.
On New Year's Eve, fans were informed that Morrissey would be performing in Rancho Mirage, California on Saturday night; however, only a few hours later, it was announced that the show had been postponed "due to an adverse reaction to a prescription medication." This decision meant that ticket holders should hold onto their tickets as they will be honored for a rescheduled date.
On the other hand, fans attending Morrissey's January 6th concert in San Diego received devastating news - the show was canceled outright with no intention of rescheduling. In contrast to Rancho Mirage, there were no refunds available at point of purchase for the San Diego event.
Morrissey's most recent series of US concerts is now expected to resume on January 10th in San Antonio, although fans have grown accustomed to last-minute changes and cancellations from the singer. Following this, Morrissey has five additional US dates before embarking on a European tour in February, including a previously canceled gig in the Dominican Republic.
Morrissey's penchant for canceling concerts is nothing new, having canceled 22 shows in 2025 alone, with another 10 gigs postponed. While fans are growing increasingly frustrated with these last-minute changes, it seems that Morrissey has other plans on the horizon - including a long-awaited record deal with Sire Records to release at least two of his shelved albums, which have not been released since 2020's "I Am Not a Dog on a Chain".

Morrissey is killing the hype game all over again! Canceling and rescheduling concerts left & right 
I mean, I get it, exhaustion can be real 
but 22 shows already? That's like, what, 2-3 months of non-stop touring? 
And now we gotta wait until Jan 10th in San Antonio before the next leg starts 
And what's up with no refunds for the San Diego show? Like, fair or not, it still sucks 
. But on the bright side, a new record deal with Sire Records? 
That means more music from Morrissey, so we gotta keep our fingers crossed 
i feel bad for morrissey fans rn... they're already stressed out enough with him canceling shows left & right 
. but at the same time, like, the dude's been dealing with health issues and stuff since 2025 so maybe we should cut him some slack? 
he's gonna put everything back together & come back stronger 
... fingers crossed! 
And to make matters worse, no refunds for the San Diego show? That's just rude 
.
. First, we're all excited, then suddenly it's "postponed" or "canceled"... what's going on, Steve? 
I mean, I know we've seen this stuff before in 2025, but still... 22 shows canceled?! That's just ridiculous 
. Come on, man! You can't even get that right anymore 
... i feel so bad for morrissey fans! all these last-minute cancellations & postponements can't be easy on them 
and some of the announcements are pretty harsh too - no refunds? that's a major bummer for people who already spent money on tickets 
. but at the same time, i'm curious about those shelved albums... maybe this is just a weird detour before he gets back to his music? 
fingers crossed! 
this is like when life decides to throw you curveballs, right? you're all set for the concert, and then BAM! your plans get cancelled. it's frustrating, no doubt about it 
... no refunds? That's just not cool. And now they're telling us that there's a rescheduled date on January 10th in San Antonio, but honestly, I'm not sure how many times we need to be told that things are gonna change at the last minute 
. It's like Morrissey is playing a game of musical chairs, but the chair is always being pulled out from under us 
I feel like fans are being taken for granted and it's getting really frustrating 
.
but honestly how many times can u keep rescheduling & then canceling again? 
they deserve better 
especially when some shows dont have refunds 
morrissey is finally releasing those shelved albums 
and now we get to hear his new stuff 
cant wait 
hope he gets it together & keeps his schedule straight 
anyway back to the good stuff - shelving albums for years only to release them on a record deal with sire records?!?! that's like the ultimate come up 
i'm so hyped for more new music!!! but seriously can't morrissey just give us some consistent tour dates already lol 
i mean i feel bad for the fans who are stuck holding onto their tickets but at the same time its like how can you plan a tour and then just keep cancelling everything? i swear its like hes playing some kinda twisted game of musical chairs and we're all just along for the ride 
. Sire Records deal is lit! let's see if it's enough to keep fans coming back 
.
. 22 shows canceled in one year? that's wild. and now we're supposed to be hyped for two new albums? been waiting since 2020, morrissey...
