Morrissey will be leading the countdown from stage...
That would be great. Maybe we'll be surprised. If he doesn't, the balloon drop will make up for it.I get that, but at special events like these I think he should put the effort in to add in rarely played gems or even unplayed material. Imagine a New Year’s gig where he throws out Ammunition finally, along with the likes of Drag The River, You Were Good In Your Time and Well I Wonder.
Like back when he randomly pulled I Keep Mine Hidden from the sands of time. Even if it were for a few select shows it would be special and appreciated.
Someone’s going to be sacked for that Instagram message. And you’ve just significantly hastened the process.That would be great. Maybe we'll be surprised. If he doesn't, the balloon drop will make up for it.
I have a feeling something like this could happen. We saw it happen in vegas with songs like I like you, Boy Racer, Far off Places, etc..I get that, but at special events like these I think he should put the effort in to add in rarely played gems or even unplayed material.

I expect the exit will be a little earlier, and more fundamental.What's the betting Moz exits the stage at 5 minutes to midnight and leaves the countdown and balloon drop to the band? That would be Très Morrissey.
stiv everyone has given up on the uk with this government,hopeless r us.He seems to have given up on the UK at this point.
You never know, he might debut unreleased track "Happy New Tears".You're The One For Me, Fatty / Alma Matters / Shoplifters Of The World Unite / I Wish You Lonely / Rebels Without Applause / How Soon Is Now? / I Am Veronica / Sure Enough, The Telephone Rings / First Of The Gang To Die / Life Is A Pigsty / Everyday Is Like Sunday / I Ex-Love You / Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want / Darling, I Hug A Pillow / The Loop / Jack The Ripper / Dear God Please Help Me / I Will See You In Far-Off Places // Speedway
seems likely, even.You never know, he might debut unreleased track "Happy New Tears".
As someone who remembers when he didn’t play Smiths songs, it feels weird to complain about Shoplifers and HSIN being played so much, so I won’t.I think it will be that core for sure - he's not going to majorly rework the setlist in the short time between now and the shows. I'd love to see "Hooligan" brought hack as a final closer.
I won't ever complain about Alma and HSIN in the setlist, namely the latter. That's his song; it would be like seeing the Stones and them not playing SatisfactionAs someone who remembers when he didn’t play Smiths songs, it feels weird to complain about Shoplifers and HSIN being played so much, so I won’t.
I will say I’ve taken a friend to see him on Broadway, Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, Kings Theater and Newark (all since 2019) and she commented on Loop, Sunday, Ripper, Alma being played all the time. And as much as I love those, it does seem time to fully shake things up and consider cutting Loop/Sunday/Ripper/Alma to make room for others. But he won’t, and we will still buy tix. I remember seeing him two nights at HOB in Vegas in 2002 and he commented at the beginning of night two how he was going to shake up she set…. And he played the exact same thing as the night before. Hahahaha
But hey, we got Our Frank and We Hate It recently, so it’s all good.
