Morrissey Cancels Valencia Concert Over Sleep Deprivation During Las Fallas

His team cited festival-driven noise as the reason, leaving a new date or refunds unannounced.

Overview

  • The singer’s website said he was unable to sleep due to loud techno singing and megaphone announcements, describing his hotel as an “indescribable hell” and claiming a “catatonic” state.
  • Reports link the night-time noise to Valencia’s UNESCO-recognized Las Fallas festival, which features daily fireworks and large street celebrations.
  • An official post stated the appearance was “not completely cancelled,” yet “the circumstances make the show impossible,” with no confirmation of a reschedule.
  • Local reporting said the show was set for the Palau de les Arts and that roughly 1,500 ticket-holders were affected.
  • Social media reactions from fans were largely angry, with complaints about late notice and the costs incurred to attend.
