• [Morrissey Central] "VICTORY ! NUMBER 3 in ENGLAND." (March 13, 2026)

"Así es la tortura de organizar un concierto de Morrissey" - by Marta Moreira.

Related to the recent cancel in Valencia. It has lots of info reported specially for the article.

Some highlights:

*********

Various sources within the Spanish music industry acknowledge that working with Morrissey is a real headache. “A nightmare,” some even say. They explain that it's increasingly difficult to find an insurance company willing to cover an artist with an average cancellation rate of nearly 30 percent. His no-shows have become part of popular culture in the form of memes, and there are even websites that keep track of all the concerts the former Smiths frontman has canceled or postponed throughout his 40-year career: 408 cancellations and 1,725 abbreviated performances.

"I tearfully thank everyone who worked to make today possible. It has been a long and hard war, and we were constantly up against those who have tried so very hard to put me out of circulation … Alistair Norbury (BMG), David Joseph (ex-Universal), Jennifer Ivory (Parlophone) … none of whom are morally qualified to judge anyone else.
Furthermore, I do not want or need the corrosive deathbed approval of The Guardian - for whom unrelenting hatred is time proudly...

Tonight's show in Valencia is confirmed to be cancelled via the ticketing site:

We regret to inform you that Morrissey’s concert scheduled for March 12th at Auditori de Les Arts in Valencia has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond the promoter’s control.

Information regarding the ticket refund procedure will be communicated shortly through the official ticketing channels.

March 12, 2026

Morrissey has described his hotel on Plaza Manises as …

"indescribable hell. It will take me one year to recover. And that is an understatement".

Tonight's scheduled show in Valencia has been rendered impossible due to sleep deprivation. Morrissey drove from Milan to Valencia but has been unable to rest in Valencia due to noise.

The show is not cancelled. Circumstances render the show impossible.

---

Having travelled for two days by road, Morrissey reached the hotel in Valencia late on Wednesday. Any form of sleep or rest throughout the night was impossible due to festival noise / loud techno singing / megaphone announcements. This experience has left Morrissey in a catatonic state. Before leaving for tonight's scheduled concert, please check that the show remains possible under these circumstances.

First cancellation of the tour, hopefully it’s the only one.
