I just love his quotes ;^)

cheers,

Jay

What does she mean, "according to the press release"?

She says that a couple of times...

Does that mean it's not 'directly from the horse's mouth' as he warned us about from the Isle of Wight 05 thing?

Oh jeez. Julia, what's going on? are you here, still hearing from Moz, or not?

thx

"What is classical is what we all agree on, and I think we all acknowledge Hyde Park festivals as important events. I am honoured to be asked to headline on July 4th, marking my 26th year haunting British music, and following the Hyde Park greats - T.Rex, Joan Armatrading, and someone with insecure teeth. I promise a thundering bill of tight nerves and suavity and all your favourites from Disc magazine. I will take Hyde Park like a flea inhabits a dog. Art-hounds and people with badly cut hair are very welcome. I shall do my utmost not to pull a sour face. The sun will make up its own mind. It is, of course, the day when America celebrated its independence from Sidcup, but we can easily reverse that situation with a bit of John Mills stiff-upperness. Bring your own lodging-house towels, but don't expect any three-shrimp appetizers."
Brilliant!

Any word on who else is playing that day?

But this here shrimp will pass...

Fleas? I assume Lee Scratch Perry is coming then?

Tell you what. Playing a free festival, now that's what would be unusual...Revolutionary, even! ...America will never be independent enough.

omg omg yaaaaaaaaaaay so excited, booking tickets now. beck is also amazing live. what a brilliant day :)

Pre-sale tickets available today, two for one. I got someone with an O2 mobile to get the code for me.

Yeah, should be blindin', seein him in a great big field with a load of p!ssed up ponsy london wannabee winehouse w*nkers...Woo furking hoo !
Set list should be good aswell...or will it just be the same stuff he's been churnin out for ages! So in a crowd of thousands, about 3 people will know what the songs are!
He must be getting paid a fortune as it will be the same damp squibbage that was the V festival, but i guess as long as it pays enough to keep his freezer topped up with Rib-eye he's a happy bunny!
The only way he can redeem himself is by having a dirty protest on Ken L!vingstones head as an encore...!
Me and Billy are swerving this one BIGTIME.!

as much as i love Morrissey
how has he got involved in an elitest concert that i should imagine the majority of working class fans
stand no chance in seeing ?!!
o2 are not the mobile of the people so we do not stand a chance and i do not earn enough for vip
after the Roundhouse farce now corperate Bastards shaft us again
morrissey please look at the ticket allocation
and if you are proud of this middle class beno then i have misjudged you (i pray i have not )

The only person in my household on O2 cannot go to concert and she needs her phone and sim card on that day. Does anyone know if she can forward the barcode info to another phone in our household or any other way we can do this.You need to log the make, model and number of phone receiving barcode when ordering tickets.
Hope that makes sense.

It's so funny you'll kill yourself laughing

NOT

Paul and the band will be off to see the man himself, We may perform a gig in London nearby as well, to top the bill ;).

Love, Paul, Ambitious Outsider forever more.

Just to let you all know - you only need to text from an O2 phone to get hold of a password - once you've got that, YOU'RE FREE TO HAVE THE BARCODE SENT TO ANY NETWORK MOBILE.

I spent all afternoon looking for O2 friends, before realising this was the case. You can actually even have the barcode transferred to different phones should people want to arrive separately.

Clearly the corporate whores do their upmost to aid this confusion... and all the while their brand seeps into our consciousness.

Hope this clears things up.

Moz, we don't need to see you live YET AGAIN. Go away and find a new band, and work on some better songs.

Cheers

I found it fascinating.
Memory is basically who we are.
Without memory of yesterday, we don't exist.
The sad onset of alzheimers at that guy around 50 is sad..or is it?

Said the romantic flea to his flea-ette!

Morrissey’s bon mots had my smile muscles itching all day!

The significance of Sidcup and of John Mills may be explored at these links - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidcup -- http://www.britmovie.co.uk/actors/m/004.html .

The ‘someone with insecure teeth’ escapes me but several candidates spring to mind.

Back to insects who confess to being proud as hell of that fact –

What do you call a flea that lives in an idiot’s ear?

A space invader!

Buy your tickets while you still can. You'll witness the return of Alain Whyte.

Were they the unsure backing band? I cant work out who he refers too, someone let me know, please

Just got my tickets ordered...
So looking forward to this.
Hope to see a lot of you there

so you get tickets half price if you can afford o2
prices ?!! you can make more profit on e-bay
this makes ne sick ,more for those that have ,yet again !
i think this is a real kick in the teeth to morrissey fans from the working class
i had faith in morrissey shows i am a prat !

anyone know how much better the "priority entry" tickets are likely to be? im a bit dissapointed as bought my tickets yesterday when i first saw the two for one offer.

Got this email this morning......

02 Wireless Exclusive Presale
Morrissey has been confirmed as the headline act on Friday 4th July at the 02 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park.

This will be Morrissey's only UK appearance this summer, and demand for tickets is set to be extremely high. As such, an exclusive presale for users of www.itsmorrisseysworld.com opens today (Wednesday) at 9am GMT.

Those who buy tickets in the presale will receive priority entry into Hyde Park on 4th July. The presale lasts for two days, until 9am GMT on Friday 28th March when tickets go on general sale.

To take advantage of this exclusive presale, follow THIS LINK from 9am on Wednesday 26th March. Please note: you will not be able to book these tickets before this time.

London Moz fanbase (15-20,000).
With other European dates to be announced, there won't be loads of continentals propping up ticket sales (as happened for 18,000 capacity MEN concert in 2004).
It could still sell out (Beck could draw 5,000) especially if there are other well-known bands set to appear on the same day, but really no need to panic-buy.

why would anyone attend this dire festival?

Firstly, it is horsecrap.

Secondly, the vulgar Julia claims the even-more vulgar Morrissey will attend 'according to his press release!' (We all know what his 'advert' was worth a year or two back)

Thirdly, Morrissey cancelled a bunch of shows at Camden and disgracefully broke a promise made on his behalf to re-arrange the dates.

Fourthly, Morrissey is now a washed-up parody of the man we once knew and loved.

Fifthly, did I mention that Morrissey is a cunt?

broken

if you buy a 40 pound ticket, does that mean you are further away from the stage?

which former member of the Smiths had a hit with Suedehead?

*Clap* *clap* Yeah! I knew that one ;o)

IckleMozza

Shes just been confirmed.

2 icons for the price of 1 :)

Fuck yeah!. Swinging my pony tail, I shall be!.

I latched on the shit yesterday
vip plus ticket was 139
today its 179

yesterday the right to have a hat over the head and a toilet and bar was 99 quid today its 139
fuck thee capitalists..

what the hell happened to citizen smith?
we'll keep the red flag flying here

even if we dont get into capitalistic funded concerts run by morrissey

only 95 replies to this item in 6 days? 5 years ago there would have been a hive of activity on this site at the announcement of a new date. I think the whole thing has fallen very flat, people are just bored of it all now. Do you think by default most Moz fans are just getting too old and settled or pre-occupied with daily life to be running around staying in B&B's, drinking all night, all the expense and the like?

Rober Plant -- In the light, Kashmir, Ten years gone then of course Stairway to Heaven

We can but dream

What do ya reckon?
Cos we don't care!!!!!

Rumor in Chicago that the Walker bros have been ousted from Moz's band in a dispute with Merk. We can only hope right ...

Mr M,

What on earth are you doing? The very key to your live sets is the intimacy by which you attempt to involve each fan with a keen sense of camaraderie. I am a huge fan, sir.....but make it a point never to go and see anyone I enjoy at a "festival". Why would I surround myself with a large group of people with no interest in music? Oh, and as it's outdoor: every "fan" will no doubt light up and attempt to choke the every life from me. You, sir are more and more becoming the epitomy of that which you mutter to despise. I will wait for the real gigs, hopefully, other fans wil follow suit and bring you back to music and away from the corporate whores.Oh, could you please stop with the trumpet blowing, it does not become a man of your years or stature. I realise I read like an old grump and that may well be accurate but please do not throw away your sincerity and talent for celebrity....it saddens me to witness such behaviour.

Come on Mr T. Sort it out!
Maurice

Playing on the 4th July so Morrissey will defo turn up *WE HOPE*
