Noise Nightmare: Morrissey Cancels Valencia Gig
13 Mar
Summary
- Morrissey cancelled his Valencia concert due to extreme noise from Las Fallas festival.
- The musician described his hotel as 'indescribable hell' due to loud festival sounds.
- This is the latest in a series of six concert cancellations by the artist this tour.
Morrissey's scheduled concert in Valencia on Thursday, March 13, 2026, was cancelled due to extreme sleep deprivation. The 66-year-old artist cited unbearable noise from the city's Las Fallas festival as the reason for his inability to rest. He reported that loud techno music, singing, and megaphone announcements made sleep impossible at his Plaza Manises hotel.
Describing the situation as an "indescribable hell," Morrissey stated that he had traveled for two days by road from Milan to Valencia and required a year to recover. This marks the sixth show cancellation on his current tour. Previously, he had cancelled six dates, including a performance in St. Petersburg, Florida, in January, reportedly due to "artist illness."
Fans have taken to social media to comment on the last-minute cancellation, with some humorously remarking on Morrissey's history of axing gigs. Ticketmaster has initiated refund processes for affected ticket holders, with funds expected to be returned within 14-21 days.
It remains uncertain if Morrissey's upcoming performances in Zaragoza on March 14 and Seville on March 16 will proceed as planned.
