But more likely he'll wait for the lunatics to gobble up their 10,000 mile, $3000 flights to Down Under first before annoucing shows closer to civilization.

Morrissey in Dunedin and New Zealand (Score:0)
Morrissey has only been to New Zealand once. He played here in 1991, giving concerts in Wellington (the capital city) and Auckland (the biggest city). And he hasn't been back since, so New Zealand Morrissey fans such as myself have had to travel far (normally to Europe) to see him live.
Unfortunately Morrissey doesn't have a large following in this country - it's definitely a cult following. There has never been much airplay or promotion for him here. So it'd be very interesting to see how tickets sell - particularly for Dunedin (where I live) which only has a population of about 120,000 but is very much a university city with a strong cultural element - but unfortunately January is our summer vacation time, so most students are out of town. Very, very few significant artists travel this far south. I think it's the most southern city in the world.
Anyhow, I'm really looking forward to the concerts here in the four main cities (barring cancellations...) and will make sure the events are well covered for this website.

You need some time off to work on some better songs and find a better band.

Morrissey in Melbourne - fantastic!! (Score:1)
I just love his face. Not to mention his love of animals, his talent, his honesty and his subtle (yet lovable) neuroses. To think of 10 years ago; those years I spent in my teens learning guitar and plugging away in a band I hated just so I could one day make it big and meet him. Didn't work - I just ended up working at the Tax Office!
Just so happy he is returning. After seeing him at the Perth gig in '02 I was convinced he hated Australians and would never return. I came close to ever-so-loudly reassuring him that we're not all cruel to animals here and that some of us are vegetarian and animal advocates right alongside him. He sang so wonderfully and had a fantastic stage presence at that concert.
Off to wipe this grin from my face - it just won't budge. Pardon the delirious rambling; just so stoked!!!

Australia - Big Day Out? (Score:1)
As I begin to make my plans for these shows, I recached out to my friends in Australia. They replied back and didn't have any news on the shows yet, but speculated that he is probably playing a big show called "Big Day Out". There is a bunch of artists on it already which were part of the first announcement. There is a second announcement coming soon, and my friends tell me that they expect Morrissey to be a part of that announcement. The festival already features NEIL YOUNG, ARCTIC MONKEYS, THE LIVING END, THE PRODIGY, SNEAKY SOUND SYSTEM, MY MORNING JACKET, PENDULUM, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, TV ON THE RADIO, SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO, THE TING TINGS, TIKI TAANE, CUT COPY, COG, YOUTH GROUP, THE GRATES, BIRDS OF TOKYO, TZU and EDDY CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING and a whole lot more.

All the Brissy fans will now come out of the woodwork. I cannot wait to meet actual real live people who adore this man as much as I do!
Now, does anyone have any information on a likely venue?
You know, Brisbane's not such a large place. With a bit of luck, finding out where he's staying wouldn't be that hard...
