Morrissey in Berlin: Triumph despite stress and lost support!

Berlin, Deutschland - Today, on June 28, 2025, the Tempodrom in Berlin became the scene of a eagerly awaited concert by Morrissey, the former front man of the legendary Smiths. The sold -out event started at 8 p.m. with nostalgic old music videos that brought the fans in the mood. Despite the emerging anticipation, the performance was accompanied by a shadow of uncertainty after Morrissey had previously had to cancel two concerts in Stockholm - significantly with the words "too much stress" and "too little support from radio stations and record bosses". This is not the first time that the artist is talking about himself; He has canceled over 100 concerts since 2015, which is not exactly beneficial to his reputation as a difficult -to -tangible star. Tagesschau reports .

As it quickly turned out, Morrissey appeared in the black suit, and the gladiolus he swiveled could not hide the fact that his appearance sometimes seemed rather bored. The band around him, among other things with the talented guitarist Carmen Vandenberg, delivered a solid performance, while the fans mainly reacted with enthusiasm to the classics of the Smiths such as "Shoplifters of the World Unite", "How Son is now" and "I know it's over". On the other hand, newer pieces seem to have found less well. that his music cannot be found in a large Berlin cultural shop and that the support from industry almost does not exist.

industrial criticism and future plans

The frustration that Morrissey feels about the lack of support for the music industry is obvious. He has criticized the fact that no record labels are ready to publish his music and the radio stations do not play his songs, even though the ticket sales shoot up. "There is zero support from the music industry," he recently said what only strengthened the frustration of his fans on social media. The band and the team also seem to be constantly exhausted due to the trips. These cancellations and the constant complaints about the industry throw a cloudy light on its current tour. Music Times reports that the stress for the crew and the artists is enormous, which is enormous, which is enormous, which is enormous for the concert tablets has contributed.
