Johnny Marr performing in London on May 16th, 2018 (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
A November tour of the UK and Ireland is coming up for Johnny Marr.
Due to start at the Usher Hall in Belfast on November 1st, the tour will back Marr’s new solo album Call The Comet, which has a release date of June 15th. “It’s set in the not-too-distant future and is mostly concerned with the idea of an alternative society,” Marr’s said of it.
“The characters in the songs are searching for a new idealism, although there are some personal songs in there too. It’s something that people like me can relate to.”
The guitarist’s short North American run launches tonight in Toronto.
