- Morrissey canceled his four-night residency at Wynn Las Vegas' Encore Theater (August 14, 15, 18, 19), with ticket buyers notified Friday via email citing "unforeseen logistical issues," though the specific cause remains unclear.
- The Wynn removed the shows from its Entertainment page and Ticketmaster listings now state "the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event," while Morrissey's own official website still lists the dates as scheduled.
- Morrissey most recently performed live on August 1 in Portugal, and his next scheduled show is mid-September at Chicago's Riot Fest.
- Morrissey opened 2025 by canceling California concerts rescheduled from 2025, "due to an adverse reaction to a prescription medication."
- Additional 2025 cancellations included Atlanta ("artist illness"), St. Louis ("flu"), the Dominican Republic ("reasons completely beyond our control"), a St. Petersburg, Florida show with no explanation, and Valencia, Spain — called off because "sleep deprivation" from a nearby loud festival "left Morrissey in a catatonic state."
- The 2025 tally includes 22 canceled performances and 10 postponed gigs, per the source.
Why it matters: Fans who booked travel and hotels around the four Vegas dates are out of luck with no reschedule announced, and the vague "logistical issues" framing — following 22 outright cancellations and 10 postponements in 2025 alone — makes buying Morrissey tickets an increasingly risky bet, as the source explicitly notes.
