Morrissey today rolled out the itinerary for his full South American tour, an 11-date trek in late February and March that includes concerts in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Columbia. Moz’s usual opener, Kristeen Young, will appear at all shows except the Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile.
According to fansite/quasi-official news outlet True To You, the trek opens Feb. 24 at the festival in Viña del Mar and includes a second concert in Chile, four in Argentina, three in Brazil and one in Peru before wrapping up March 17 in Colombia.
