Fans of Morrissey and The Smiths from all around the world are set to descend on the city for the 10th annual Mozarmy festival. The weekender will happen on April 28, and is reputedly ‘one of the biggest fan gatherings of its kind in the world’.
Tickets for the events go on sale today, with a host of talks, Q&A sessions and parties happening over the weekend. Visitors are expected from as far afield as Texas, Indonesia and Japan.
Festival founder Julie Hamill said: “There are people thousands of miles from each other who have become the best of friends. We have mums and dads, and sons, step-kids, grandchildren...every generation.
