LAS VEGAS, Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Morrissey announces his most unlikely run of dates ever, a
not-to-be-missed, sure-to-be-life-changing residency "Morrissey:
Viva Moz Vegas" at The
Colosseum at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip
this summer. Morrissey will play five nights,
June 26 – 27, July 1, July 3 – 4.
Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, Feb. 28 at 10 a.m.
PT.
Morrissey, once voted the second-greatest living British
cultural icon (behind David
Attenborough and before Paul
McCartney), takes on this residency as his second theatrical
outing of its kind following a hallmark sold-out Broadway residency
at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater in New York City, which earned
unanimous praise from press. The Vegas residency, his latest
stateside shows after a string of acclaimed tour dates with
alt-rock icons Interpol last fall, comes on the heels of the
announcement of Morrissey's 13th solo album and third studio album
for BMG, defiantly titled "I Am Not A Dog on a Chain," set to be
released on March 20. The Vegas
residency will serve as an intimate, invigorating dive into
Morrissey's expansive career from his early days to the new album.
As an artist who is always trying new things, and never wanting to
repeat himself, this could be fans' only chance to experience the
provocative combination of Morrissey in Las Vegas. These shows are not to be
missed.
General ticket prices beginning at $59, plus applicable tax and fees, go on sale to
the general public starting Friday,
Feb. 28 at 10 a.m.
PT at ticketmaster.com/morrisseyvegas or
in-person at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace box office.
The full performance schedule is below with all shows starting
at 8:30 p.m.

'I Am Not A Dog on a Chain' was produced by GRAMMY-winning
producer Joe Chiccarelli (Beck,
Tori Amos, The Strokes, The Killers,
The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and more), and recorded at Studio
La Fabrique in Saint-Rémy de Provence, France, and Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California. Lead single "Bobby,
Don't You Think They Know?," featuring backing vocals by legendary
R&B icon Thelma Houston, was
released to great critical and fan response, while his most recent
release "Love Is On Its Way Out" was praised by Rolling Stone who
said it "boasts cavernous drums and a prickly synth arpeggio that
periodically veers into atmospheric spaces while still steadily
building to a climactic peak...Morrissey's vocals carry their
characteristic heft."
Of the epic duet, the GRAMMY-winning Houston said "one of the
biggest joys for me in this business is getting the opportunity to
collaborate with other top artists. I love the challenge to see if
what I do can work with what they're doing. Sometimes it works, and
sometimes it doesn't. I think the blend of what Morrissey is
singing and what I'm singing really works on 'Bobby.'" Chiccarelli
teased that the upcoming album is Moz's "boldest and most
adventurous yet...he has pushed the boundaries yet again, both
musically and lyrically. He is in his own category. No one can be
Morrissey but ... Morrissey!" According to the man himself, 'I Am
Not a Dog on a Chain' will be a return to form for the alt-pop
pioneer who calls the album "the very best of me … too good to be
true … too true to be considered good."
Recently, Morrissey announced two U.K. arena concerts as well as
dates in Cologne, Germany and
Paris, France while his cover of
Roy Orbison's 60's classic "It's
Over" from his celebrated covers album California Son, enjoyed a
No. 1 chart position on UK Vinyl Singles chart.
PRAISE FOR MORRISSEY'S BROADWAY RESIDENCY
"All of the mood swings are centered by his voice: a
long-breathed croon that breaks, at precise moments, into a
cascading melisma...on Broadway, Morrissey had been as intimate as
his songs themselves, but he stayed true to his persona."
—The New York Times
"...he milks all of his inherent self-deprecation for what it's
worth, and that's exactly what his fans want... Morrissey's singing
that was the star of the night."
—Rolling Stone
"The alt-rock icon was comfortable, crackling and alive when he
hit the stage."
—Billboard
"...his voice has barely aged at all; it's like a Dorian Gray of the larynx."
—Variety
"With Morrissey's laconic, lyrical baritone ringing through the
theater, it was as if he was fulfilling a choirboy's childhood
dream to sing on Broadway..."
—New York Post
PRAISE FOR MORRISSEY'S FALL 2019 TOUR
"Imagine being hit by the world's most beautiful fist. That's
what the night felt like. I don't know if the blow came from the
left. And I don't know if the blow came from the right. But I do
know I'll be cherishing the black-and-blue for the rest of my
life."
—Flaunt
"Morrissey is every bit the performer he was destined to
be."
—Music Connection
"Morrissey is the rare singer whose voice is actually getting
better with age."
—Dallas Morning News
