Johnny Marr announces Australia/New Zealand tour (24/09/2014)
Frontier Touring look forward to welcoming iconic British guitarist and singer-songwriter, Johnny Marr, for a series of electrifying shows in January and February 2015 through Australia and New Zealand!
Having played sold out shows in Melbourne and Sydney to great acclaim earlier this year, these will be Marr’s first as a solo artist when he and his band roll in to Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and Auckland. A founding member of cultural institution The Smiths and performer alongside the likes of Modest Mouse, Beck, Talking Heads, The The and Oasis, Marr was already rock royalty before releasing his Top 10 debut solo album The Messenger in February 2013. |
Nothing if not prolific, Marr had begun writing sophomore solo effort Playland (out October 3 through Warner Music) almost immediately after The Messenger’s release "…I kept on writing. I liked that the band had a momentum going on tour and a connection with the audience, and I thought that energy would be good to capture on the new record.”
Marr collected rave reviews when last in Australia with critics spotlighting his ability to combine the best of his new material with select highlights from his epic back catalogue, including The Smiths and many others.
"All I can say is that I pity the act I next have to see, as even in a tiny place like the Corner, Johnny Marr made it seem as large as Rod Laver." - The 59th Sound
He’s one the most celebrated guitarists in the world. Armed to the teeth with classics and his own lauded solo works, when Johnny Marr hits Australia and New Zealand in January 2015 the shows promise to be exhilarating displays of talent from a revered virtuoso.
