It’s been a fantastic few weeks for lovers of 1980s and 1990s music, with musicians from two bands which arguably defined both decades, The Smiths and Oasis, announcing UK tours. First, we had Liam Gallagher of Oasis announcing Definitely Maybe tour tickets, and now Johnny Marr, the former The Smiths guitarist, has announced a UK tour.

The guitarist not only achieved incredible success with The Smiths, but the Manchester-born artist also has a string of acclaimed solo hits and notable collaborations; he has, after all, been making his mark on the music industry for over 40 years.

Marr began his music career in the alt-rock band The Smiths, which he co-founded with singer Morrissey. The band’s four hit albums, 1984’s The Smiths, Meat Is Murder in 1985, The Queen Is Dead in 1986, and 1987’s Strangeways, Here We Come, defined a whole era.

Post-The Smiths, the 59-year-old recorded and produced tracks, and toured with the likes of The Pretenders, Modest Mouse, and The Cribs. Marr also joined the supergroups 7 Worlds Collide — with Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien and Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy — and Electronic —with New Order’s Bernard Sumner and Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys. It’s no wonder NME awarded Marr its Godlike Genius award in 2013.

And Marr didn’t stop there. The Mancunian released his debut album The Messenger in 2013, Playland in 2014, then Call The Comet in 2018. Marr’s fourth solo album, Fever Dreams Pts 1-4, which was actually his first-ever double album and was preceded by two EPs: Fever Dreams Pt 1 and Fever Dreams Pt 2, was released last February.

To see this ‘Godlike Genius’ live in a venue near you, here’s how you can snap-up tickets.
