A popular English singer has cancelled all of his Las Vegas dates for August.
Morrissey, full name Steven Morrissey, who was one of the pioneers of British indie rock in the 1980s, was due to play four shows in the US city.
On Instagram, the musician, who formed The Smiths, recently promoted shows in the US, Europe, and the UK, with fans having bought tickets to the shows, including the now-cancelled Las Vegas gigs.
The shows were scheduled for August 14, 15, 18, and 19, but they have since been removed from the venue’s website, the Wynn Las Vegas hotel.
Ticket provider Ticketmaster has posted a notice on the event pages for each show, telling fans they have been cancelled.
In September, Morrissey is due to play shows in other US cities, including Buffalo, Brooklyn, Nashville, Houston, and more before heading to Paris, Tilburg and Brussels and the UK in December.
While an update hasn’t been posted on his official Instagram account, where the shows have been promoted, The Sun reports that his team have said the Las Vegas cancellations are due to “unforeseen logistical challenges”.
What to do if you’ve bought tickets to Morrissey’s Las Vegas shows
If you have bought tickets, it’s worth checking what your ticket provider suggests regarding refunds.
On Ticketmaster, fans are told the event has been cancelled along with the refund process.
It says: "Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event.
"You don't need to do a thing.
"We'll issue a refund to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, as soon as funds are received from the Event Organizer.
"It should appear on your account within 14-21 days.
"Please Note: If the tickets were transferred to you, the refund will go to the fan who originally purchased the tickets from Ticketmaster.”
Morrissey has recently cancelled a few of his shows, citing various issues including “extreme exhaustion” back in November and “sleep deprivation” cancelling his Valencia show in March 2026.
Some US shows were cancelled this year, with the Atlanta one being axed from his tour schedule due to “artist illness”, reports The Sun.
Are UK Morrissey shows going ahead in 2026?
So far, the UK shows will go ahead as planned later this year.
Morrissey will tour across the country on the following dates:
- Brighton – December 6
- Cardiff – December 10
- Liverpool – December 12
- Glasgow – December 16
- Leeds – December 19
Morrissey formed The Smiths with guitarist Johnny Marr, and they played alongside bass player Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce.
The band released four critically acclaimed studio albums - The Smiths (1984), Meat Is Murder (1985), The Queen Is Dead (1986), and Strangeways, Here We Come (1987), before breaking up in 1987.
Top 10 British albums
They achieved three UK top 10 singles, and were best known for songs such as This Charming Man, Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now, and How Soon Is Now?
Following the break-up of The Smiths, Morrissey launched a successful solo career which has seen him score three UK number one albums and 10 top 10 singles, with his best-known solo tracks including Suedehead, Everyday Is Like Sunday and First Of The Gang To Die.
