Morrissey Cancels Valencia Concert After Festival Noise Leaves Him Sleep-Deprived

His team confirmed the Palau de les Arts date is off following website posts blaming sleeplessness from Valencia’s Las Fallas festivities.

Overview

  • Morrissey’s representative confirmed to Rolling Stone that Thursday’s Valencia show is canceled, clarifying earlier website language that said the concert was “not canceled” but “rendered impossible.”
  • Posts on Morrissey’s official site cited an overnight barrage of festival noise, including loud techno singing and megaphone announcements, leaving him in a “catatonic state.”
  • The singer described his hotel near Plaza Manises as an “indescribable hell” and wrote that it would take him a year to recover.
  • The concert had been scheduled at Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, with fans told to check show status as confusion mounted over rescheduling and refunds.
  • Morrissey arrived after a two-day drive from Milan and the cancellation extends a pattern of disrupted 2026 tour dates as he promotes his new album Make-Up Is a Lie.
