Morrissey announced a fall 2026 U.S. tour supporting his new album Make-Up Is a Lie. The dates mark his return to the road following years of legal battles and health setbacks that kept him largely off the touring circuit. The former Smiths frontman has spent the last several years releasing music while dealing with a throat condition he claimed affected his singing voice, creating friction between his output and his ability to perform live.
The tour signals a recalibration. Morrissey remains a reliable draw for devoted fans who've followed him through decades of provocative statements and prolific album releases. His relationship with critics and casual listeners has grown complicated over time, but his hardcore base treats new tour announcements like major events. Make-Up Is a Lie represents his latest attempt to stay relevant in a music landscape that doesn't always make room for legacy acts.
Specific dates and venues haven't been announced yet. The timeline gives fans and promoters nearly two years to plan, suggesting Morrissey's team is taking a methodical approach after his extended absence from touring.
