According to Morrissey fan site True To You, “Morrissey has added two shows in New Zealand and four shows in Australia to conclude his 2012 tour. At the close of his 35-date U.S. tour on December 8 (Atlantic City, sold-out), Morrissey will travel directly to New Zealand. Full ticket and venue details will be available within the next week”.

While True To You is confident about the Morrissey tour down under, no dates have leaked out of either Australia or New Zealand at this time.

Morrissey last toured Australia in 2002.
