Morrissey to bring 'Tour of Refusal' to Triangle

Smiths' frontman and all around enigmatic character Morrissey has extended his "Tour of Refusal" to include a date in Durham. Where else would he be playing but the new Durham Performing Arts Center. The show will be on March 11 and tickets go on sale this Friday, December 19 at 10AM. Tickets prices will be $42 to $25.

Morrissey's new album Years of Refusal is due out February 16 in the UK, so it's presumably out on February 17 in the US. [UPADTE: Morrissey has inked a deal with Lost Highway Records who will release the album in the US on February 17.]
