With the dates announced via aMorrisseyfan zine, it looks like the legendary singer/songwriter will be coming to Sydney off the back of a world tour.

Despite enjoying the Sails of the Sydney Opera House when he was last here for Vivid LIVE festival in 2015, the former Smiths frontman has only announced plans to play for our Novacastrian cousins, in Newy’s Civic Theatre.

The news follows on from the announcement that he is indeed headlining Chicago’s Riot Fest this September (despite his earlier claims otherwise), and that his 2015 UK shows would be the last in the country (he’s now playing Manchester Arena on August 20)
