Morrissey is starting 2026 in the same manner he concluded 2025: by canceling concerts.

The former Smiths singer and long-time solo artist has postponed his first show of the year, which was scheduled for Saturday night in Rancho Mirage, California.

In announcing the news, the venue (Aqua Caliente) cited “an adverse reaction to a prescription medicine” as the reason. This was already a makeup date, as the show was previously postponed from its original October 24, 2025 date.

Morrissey’s planned January 6 concert in San Diego has also been canceled, along with a previously announced January 25 date in the Dominican Republic. The reasons for those two cancellations have not been disclosed.

Morrissey has canceled numerous concerts for various reasons throughout his career, leading the WeHeartM website to dedicate a lengthy page to tracking them all. To date, the site lists 402 canceled shows, postponed dates, and abbreviated performances.

According to their calculations, in addition to the two canceled 2026 shows, Morrissey canceled 32 of his planned 63 dates in 2025 and 9 of his 23 planned concerts in 2024. This totals 43 canceled shows out of 88.

A comparison of the site’s 2023 data with reports from SetList.fm regarding his last 12 shows for that year reveals that six occurred while six were canceled.

Add it all up and Morrissey has canceled 49 of his last 100 scheduled shows, citing reasons including extreme exhaustion, lack of label support, band member injuries, a severe sinusitis attack, and technical issues.

As noted by Stereogum, Morrissey’s next show is set to take place on January 10 in San Antonio. This is also a makeup date since the concert was postponed from May 8, 2025. They further mention that the singer hasn’t performed in the city for 15 years, as his planned concerts in 2016 and 2017 were… all together now… postponed then canceled.
