Morrissey’s 2025 North American Tour Maps Out Major Markets and Radio City Return
Objective analysis of Morrissey’s newly announced 2025 North American tour shows a meticulously planned itinerary designed to engage long-time fans and optimize revenue streams. According to the singer’s official website announcement on October 15 and a Ticketmaster press release, the 27-date run kicks off February 5 in Vancouver and winds through 15 key markets before concluding May 10 in Houston. Notably, the tour marks Moz’s first Radio City Music Hall appearance since 2014, pegged for March 12 in New York City, a strategic move to rekindle buzz in one of his largest U.S. fan bases.
In addition to venue details, preliminary Pollstar data on past Morrissey tours indicates an average attendance of 4,800 per show in North America, with gross revenues near $8 million on his last multi-city outing. If this routing—which includes stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Philadelphia, Miami and Atlanta—sustains comparable draw, the 2025 tour could approach $20 million in total ticket sales. Ticket prices range from $65 to $150, balancing accessibility with premium seating options. A fan-club pre-sale opens October 28 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by a general on-sale via Ticketmaster on November 1.
Demographically, industry analysts note Morrissey’s core audience skews 35 to 55 years old, a segment that continues to support legacy acts on the road. His return signals both sustained loyalty and an appetite for his solo catalog, which has seen streaming spikes on Spotify (a 22% uptick year-over-year) since he began teasing tour dates on social channels. Seasoned promoters highlight the inclusion of mid-sized theaters—4,000 to 6,000 seats—as a deliberate tactic to preserve intimacy while maximizing ticket yield.
Beyond raw numbers, the routing reflects careful market selection. Secondary markets like Cleveland and Denver bridge gaps between major hubs, reducing logistical costs and sustaining momentum. The Radio City slot, hosted at a historically prestigious 6,015-seat venue, underscores a calculated effort to reignite media attention and attract casual listeners through high-profile press coverage.
With speculation already swirling about potential festival appearances and a possible album drop timed with his tour, Morrissey’s 2025 schedule offers more than just concerts—it provides a case study in contemporary legacy-artist touring strategy. More details on VIP packages and special guests are expected in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on official channels and ticket platforms. More updates will follow as details emerge.
