Morrissey has teased a big announcement for the UK, set to be announced later today (February 10).The promise of a new announcement was made by the soloist and former Smiths frontman on his social media pages earlier today, when he took to his official Facebook page and shared a photo of himself performing on stage.No caption was shared for the post, although the photo did have writing on the top of it that read: “Announcement.

5pm. GMT”, indicating that details will be arriving this afternoon.Although it isn’t clear what the announcement will be, it is likely that the singer is hinting at an upcoming UK tour.

This comes as last week saw him announce plans for a North American run of live shows, set to take place between April and May.Those shows come following a brief stint of Los Angeles gigs to round off 2024, as well as a sold-out tour of North America in late October and November.Posted by Morrissey Official on Sunday, February 9, 2025If the announcement does turn out to be a tour of the UK, it’ll be Morrissey’s first since abruptly cancelling a show at London’s Crystal Palace in April 2023.

The gig was set for July 9, and around that same time, the singer announced a tour of the UK and Ireland, including a replacement date for July 9.The second July 9 show – which was set for Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall – was then cancelled, with the venues hosting the shows citing “unforeseen circumstances”.The announcement will also arrive following Morrissey sharing new updates over new material in recent months – namely the long-delayed album ‘Bonfire Of The Teenagers’.He recorded the album between 2020 and 2021, although it has remained shelved by Capitol Records due to controversies around the artist.
