With poetic and provocative lyrics, instrumentation and a bold artistic vision, the album reinforces Morrissey’s status as one of music’s most distinctive voices.
Following last week’s announcement of a European tour, Morrissey has confirmed a U.S. summer and fall 2026 tour in support of his new album “Make-Up Is a Lie” and “Deluxe Notre-Dame EP,” set for release on June 19 via Sire/Warner Records.
As part of the tour, Morrissey will bring “Morrissey: Live in Concert” to Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for four performances on Aug. 14-15 and 18-19. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 1, at 12 p.m. PT. Click here for tour and ticket details and buy tickets at Ticketmaster.com. All shows are at 8 p.m.
Released last month, “Make-Up Is a Lie” marks Morrissey’s 14th solo studio album and his first release on Sire/Warner Records in 30 years. The 12-track collection includes the title track “Make-Up is a Lie” and live fan-favorite “The Monsters of Pig Alley.”
Upon release, “Make-Up Is a Lie” hit #3 on the U.K. Albums Chart, becoming Morrissey’s 16th Top 10 solo album on the English tally (which includes compilations) and his 26th Top 10 album when including his work leading The Smiths. Mojo Magazine called the album “his most convincing howl for ages.”
“Make-Up Is a Lie” reunites Morrissey with producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, Weezer). Recorded at Studio La Fabrique in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence of Southern France, the album features Jesse Tobias, Camila Grey, Carmen Vandenberg, Juan Galeano, Alain Whyte, Gustavo Manzur and Brendan Buckley.
With poetic and provocative lyrics, unpredictable instrumentation and a bold artistic vision, the album reinforces Morrissey’s status as one of music’s most distinctive voices for more than four decades.
On June 19, Morrissey will release “Deluxe Notre-Dame EP,” featuring unreleased tracks from the Muial sessions and highlights the track “Notre-Dame,” along with three B-sides, “Notre-Dame (Orchestrated Version),” “Hello Hell” and “Happy New Tears.”
The EP is available for pre-order now digitally, through all DSPs and also in collectible 12-inch form on yellow vinyl. More: WynnLasVegas.com.
