Press Release:

MORRISSEY ANNOUNCES AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND TOUR!

The Frontier Touring Company is delighted to bring the legendary Morrissey to Antipodean shores for the first time in more than a decade for a run of shows this December.

“One of the most singular figures in Western popular culture from the last twenty years” - Pitchfork

Often credited as the man who patented indie music for the masses; Morrissey’s wit, swelling guitar anthems and signature sorrow have defined a musical path that many other bands have since travelled down.

Joining Morrissey on tour will be American singer/songwriter Kristeen Young. The talented performer has been supporting Morrissey across his 2012 world tour. Young’s performances are marked by wildly emotional energy and mastering of the piano.

With anticipation high, these shows are sure to sell out. Don’t miss the chance to see the enigma that has sold millions of albums across his career when he tours this December.
