Johnny Marr announces UK tour for October

Johnny Marr is gearing up for a string of UK tour dates in October.

Marr, who since the break-up of The Smiths has lent his distinctive jangling guitar sound to Modest Mouse and The Cribs, amongst others, will perform nine shows throughout England.

The NME reports that Marr’s new single #New Town Velocity’, from his début solo album The Messenger, will be released on 22 July, and he is set to play the John Peel stage at Glastonbury this summer.
