Morrissey, one of the most iconic and influential figures in music, first rose to fame as the enigmatic lead singer of the seminal British band The Smiths in the 1980s. Known for his distinctive baritone voice and poetic, introspective lyrics, he has since carved out a remarkable solo career that has solidified his status as a cultural icon. His debut solo album, "Viva Hate" (1988), introduced hits like "Suedehead" and "Everyday Is Like Sunday," which quickly became anthems for a generation. Over the years, Morrissey has released critically acclaimed albums such as "Your Arsenal" (1992), which earned a Mercury Prize nomination, and "Vauxhall and I" (1994), often hailed as a masterpiece. His 2004 comeback album, "You Are the Quarry," featuring the chart-topping singles "Irish Blood, English Heart" and "First of the Gang to Die," marked a triumphant return to the spotlight.

Throughout his career, Morrissey has been celebrated for his ability to blend melancholic themes with sharp social commentary, earning him a devoted global fanbase and numerous accolades, including NME Awards, BRIT Award nominations, and a Q Icon Award. His enduring influence on alternative music and pop culture continues to resonate, making him a timeless voice in the industry. Doors open at 7 p.m.
