Recognized as one of the most influential artists of all time, Morrissey is on an international tour immediately after his headlining performance at Riot Fest in Chicago this September.
The iconic frontman of The Smiths, Morrissey is widely credited as a seminal figure in the emergence of indie rock and Britpop. The Smiths emerged from the British independent music scene in the 1980s and Morrissey led the band to 15 studio, live and compilation albums in their short five years together. After The Smiths disbanded, Morrissey launched a prolific solo career that included 49 singles and twelve solo top-ten albums, three of them landing at #1 on the UK charts. His most recent release, World Peace Is None Of Your Business, went on to become one of the most critically acclaimed records of the year.
About the Día de los Muertos Celebration: For one night the historic Santa Barbara Bowl will be transformed into a magical place inspired by the Day of the Dead festivities in Oaxaca, Mexico. This all encompassing community event will showcase local theatre, dance, art installations and altars made by local organizations, schools and museums. Aztec dancers will perform and bless the altars and skeleton faces will be painted.
