(UPDATE) Johnny Marr recently spoke with app.com about his forthcoming North American tour. During the interview he leaked that he'll be performing 5 Smiths songs along with cuts from his 2013 “The Messenger” album and new release “Playlands”.
Fans that are unfamiliar with Johnny's solo work will be pleased to hear Marr taking lead vocal duties on “How Soon Is Now?”, “Bigmouth Strikes Again”, “Panic”, “Still Ill” and “There Is A Light That Never Goes Out”. Johnny Marr tickets are still available for his North American tour.
...
Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has announced a 30 performance North American tour beginning this November in Washington DC.
The tour comes on the heels of the release of Playland, his second solo album, and an October tour of the UK and three additional European dates.

The news will please many diehard Smiths fans as Johnny is much less likely to cancel tour dates, a feat Morrissey has notoriously done for two straight North American treks.
Johnny also has price on his side to please fans. In a limited secondary market, Johnny Marr tickets average $99.17. The cheapest show on deck so far is November 25th at Chicago's Vic Theatre – averaging just $47 on the resale market. Vancouver's Commodore Theatre takes the cake as the most expensive date; a $234 average.
Other highlights of the tour include an eastern swing with both the Gramecy Theatre and Music Hal of Williamsburg earning dates; and a state high 7 shows in California concluding with a double shot at the famous El Rey Theatre. In true DIY fashion, Johnny will be blazing through 30 dates in just over a month and a half. Much of the SouthEast and SouthWest has been left off the tour schedule.
