The 63-year-old, who came to prominence as the frontman of The Smiths, announced the extra date today to his upcoming summer tour, tickets for which are available here.

Locations already announced include Liverpool, Nottingham, London and Dublin.

The tickets for the Folkestone event go on sale tomorrow at 9.30am.

Morrissey has enjoyed 16 albums in the UK Top Ten, plus nine Top Ten albums with The Smiths, of which he was a founder member.

His songs have been covered by David Bowie, Nancy Sinatra, The Killers, Marianne Faithfull, Chrissie Hynde and My Chemical Romance – among others.

Morrissey was the singer and lyricist of The Smiths for six years and has been a successful solo artist for 36 years.

The new July date follows his European tour last month, including a sold-out show at London’s Eventim Apollo.
