Johnny Marr returns with the announcement of his new album, The Age Of Everything, alongside new single, 'Spin'.
The Age Of Everything – due for release on October 2 via BMG –is Johnny Marr’s fifth full length studio record. 10 new songs that he describes as the most cathartic songwriting of his career. Written in London, developed live on the road across the East Coast of North America and recorded in Manchester, The Age Of Everything captures the energy and tensions of the city. Sharp, fast and dynamic, filled with ideas and possibilities.
Brand new single ‘Spin’ is The Age of Everything’s urgent opening statement. The song is charged with emotion and sonic energy. Johnny Marr is soundtracking the collective consciousness of 2026 as he sings, “there’s too much coming into my mind”.
Listen to ‘Spin’ on the Manchester City playlist.
Introducing the album, Johnny Marr said: “This is the record that’s been the most cathartic. The title came to me early in the process and became an inescapable idea. It seemed to sum up the way I think a lot of people are feeling. It’s all encompassing, but it’s not necessarily a negative statement. There’s a sense of overwhelm in the culture brought about by technology, but looking at it with a different light, there could also be a sense of possibility.”
It is the unique dialogue that exists between Johnny Marr and his audience that has turbo-charged the sound of The Age Of Everything. Whilst touring the East Coast of North America in late 2025, more than half of the set consisted of brand new and unheard music. This research and development in the field brought a new energy to the songs, something inspired by what Johnny describes as a preoccupation with perception. How we perceive things as we move through life. Considering the possibility of everything: good and bad. Choosing the promise of the future, with defiance and resistance.
The Age Of Everything is matched by the biggest live concerts of Johnny Marr’s solo career to date. Two UK concerts are scheduled – a huge homecoming performance at Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl on July 9, and a massive headline show at London’s Wembley Arena on October 24. European tours and festivals are on the tour run throughout the summer, including Belgium’s Live is Live with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds at the end of this month, with more touring soon to be announced.
