Morrissey to Perform in Cardiff as Part of 2026 UK Tour
Morrissey, the ex-frontman of The Smiths and a celebrated lyricist, is set to bring his unique sound to Cardiff in late 2026. The concert, part of his live tour promoting his new album, Make Up is a Lie, will take place at the Utilita Arena on Thursday, December 10.
This much-anticipated performance marks Morrissey’s return to the Welsh capital, having last graced the stage there in 2015. The announcement follows a successful sold-out show earlier this year at The O2 in London, and the upcoming tour will feature additional stops in cities such as Brighton, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Leeds.
Tickets for the concert will be available for presale from May 20 at 9 am, with general sales starting on May 22 at the same time. Fans can purchase tickets through Ticketmaster or via gigsandtours.com.
Morrissey is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in British pop music. His career boasts an impressive record, including 25 top ten albums in the UK—15 as a solo artist and 10 with The Smiths. In 1992, his concert at the Hollywood Bowl set a record by becoming the fastest-ever sell-out at the venue, a record previously held by The Beatles. His contributions to music have been recognised with an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.
Local music enthusiasts eager to catch this iconic artist can look forward to a vibrant concert experience as Morrissey’s Welsh audience prepares to welcome him back after over a decade. Keep an eye out for further updates on ticket availability and the overall event as the date approaches.
