He last performed live in the city last year as the support act for Blondie at the OVO Hydro with his most recent solo show being almost five years ago in Glasgow at the world famous Barrowland Ballroom which is a special venue to him having appeared there three times with The Smiths during the eighties.

Event organisers Assai Records took to social media to share their excitment saying: “A BIG ONE. We’ve only gone and got the legend that is Johnny Marr to do a Q&A at Saint Luke’s on November 8th!”

Tickets for the event next month will be available from Thursday, October 12 here.
