Johnny Marr adds extra tour date

The mesmerising return of Johnny Marr - one of the most celebrated and influential guitarists in the history of contemporary music – gathers pace with the news that he will follow the February 25th release of his debut solo album 'The Messenger' with his first ever solo tour.

Already winning critical acclaim, 'The Messenger' has been previewed by the title track which is currently accumulating radio play. Marr's current resurgence has also been supported by his recent Q Hero Award and by NME's Ultimate Band feature in which he was named above fellow guitar legends including Jimi Hendrix, John Squire and Jimmy Page.

Marr's first solo tour is scheduled as below. In addition to a London date at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, the tour will conclude with two homecoming shows at Manchester's HMV Ritz. A second night at the venue was added after the initial date sold-out.
