Johnny Marr: Smiths legend announces 2018 tour

With his arpeggio melodies and jangly playing style, riff-writer extraordinaire Johnny Marr is one of the most influential guitarists of his generation. As lead guitarist of The Smiths, he (along with song writing partner Morrissey) transformed popular music in the early-mid 1980s and became one of the most recognisable duos in the UK charts, while as a solo artist he has endured for almost two decades. 

A prolific composer, Marr masterminded the riffs for some of the best known tracks of the 1980s (and perhaps of all time) – including "This Charming Man", "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" and "How Soon is Now" – helping the band to sell four million records worldwide. As a group, The Smiths inspired a level of near religious devotion among their army of fans that few in musical history can claim to match, while as an individual Marr quickly became one of the most respected guitarists of the decade. 

In a career now spanning more than 30 years, Marr has released over a dozen albums – four with The Smiths and others with the likes of Modest Mouse and The The – clocking up combined sales of over five million records. And he isn’t done there. After the release of his latest record – Call the Comet – in June 2018, Marr will tour the UK in November 2018, including a date in his home town of Manchester.

Tickets for Marr's shows are always in high demand, with his feverish fan base always quick off the mark. Make sure you don’t miss your chance to catch a rock legend live, get your Johnny Marr tickets at StubHub now.

Johnny Marr: guitarist's legacy clear for all to see (and hear)

Born John Martin Maher in 1963, Johnny Marr has had a colossal impact on the world of music. He first made waves as the guitarist of The Smiths in the 1980s, with songs such as "Hand In Glove", "What Difference Does it Make", and "Reel Around the Fountain" which showcased the musician's unique playing style.

The band split in 1987, but their former guitarist has enjoyed a successful solo career ever since thanks to his enduring thirst for collaboration and his incredibly dedicated and loyal fan base. His work with Modest Mouse and The The has been complimented by three critically acclaimed solo albums this decade; the latest of which was released in 2018.
