St. Petersburg, FL – January 19, 2026 – Nobody seems to cancel Morrissey quite like Morrissey himself. The famously enigmatic former Smiths frontman, currently promoting a new album, has now scrapped his fifth concert of the year, a performance scheduled for Tuesday night at the Duke Energy Center For The Arts’ Mahaffey Theater.

- The latest cancellation is at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg, Florida.
