NOT content with setting fans a titter with his excellent single Spent The Day In Bed and indeed his recent comments on Britain's immigration policies, Morrissey has also announced some new live dates for next year – including a Dublin fixture at 3Arena on February 20.

The Dublin gig is one of just nine dates Mozza has lined up for next year, by which point the verdict will be well and truly in on his new album Low in High School, set for release on November 17.

The Mancunian crooner has arranged two special 'pop-up' shops that will sell the album direct to fans; one in London's Camden Market and the other in Los Angeles.

Amusingly, these will be stocking an impressive 100 test pressings of the Low in High School album (typically, only a handful of these high quality aural assessment discs are produced for any vinyl release), available for purchase on a first-come-first-served basis across the release weekend.

These shops will also be stocking all four coloured vinyl versions of the LP and the limited edition 7-inch boxset, as well as affording fans photo opportunities with special artwork backdrops.

Another good new tune from the record, I Wish You Lonely, has just been released on digital formats and you also get it as a free download when pre-ordering Low in High School via iTunes or the official Morrissey store.

Tickets for next February's Dublin show are priced from a hefty €69.50 and go on sale at 10am today via Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.ie
