Morrissey calls off concert in Spain after local festivities deprived him of sleep
- On Thursday, British singer Morrissey cancelled his Valencia concert, his official website saying the show was impossible due to sleep deprivation that left him in a 'catatonic state'.
- Arriving late Wednesday after a two-day drive from Milan, Morrissey was kept awake by loud techno singing and megaphone announcements from Valencia's Las Fallas festival.
- Demand for the Valencia show was strong, with nearly 1,500 tickets sold and prices starting at �103, while organisers and Palau de les Arts offered no confirmed refunds or rescheduling.
- Remaining Spanish dates including Zaragoza and Seville now face uncertainty, as fans await promoter updates and refunds after Morrissey's show was withdrawn.
- As a noisy pyrotechnic event with round-the-clock street parties, the Las Fallas festival is UNESCO-listed and climaxes on March 19, while more than 12 million people in Spain face noise above 65 decibels.
