Morrissey’s world tour in support of his new album, “Years of Refusal,” makes a stop in Austin to play the University of Texas at Austin Performing Arts Center’s Bass Concert Hall on Sunday, April 12 at 8pm. Each of Morrissey’s tours is a singular experience with iconic staging and a faultless set list. His longtime band including Boz Boorer, Jesse Tobias, Matt Walker and Solomon Walker will back Morrissey.

Morrissey is often recognized as the most important British musician of his generation. The New York Times recently stated, ”Morrissey isn’t just any singer: he has become one of the defining rock stars of the past few decades by virtue of his grand voice, his grander songs, and his charming habit of playing with melodrama”. His influence is felt worldwide through the countless artists that cite him as their primary inspiration. “Years of Refusal” is a masterful work that finds Morrissey and the band at their best with a muscular sound and the inimitable voice and lyrics of a legend.
