Morrissey Gets Belgian Festival To Turn Vegetarian For A Day

A music festival in Belgian, which offers festival-goers stalls selling sausages and snails, is to go vegetarian for a day so Morrissey can perform.

The ten-day festival, Lokerse Feesten, takes place from July 29-August 7.

Morrissey will take to the stage on August 4 after organisers agreed to force food stalls to sell vegetarian food only.

"Many months we worked on it, for weeks we waited for an answer, many nights were spent sleepless," organisers said of their attempt to book Morrissey.

They added that going meat-free for one day was “a healthy break for all”.

Morrissey, a staunch vegetarian, has publicly complained about the sale of meat at festivals where he has performed in the past.
