Johnny Marr has announced The Age Of Everything, his fifth solo album, due October 2 via BMG. The news arrives with Spin, a lead single that Marr's official site now lists alongside an official video, and it puts a proper release date on the next phase after 2022's Fever Dreams Pts 1-4.
NME reports that The Age Of Everything is a 10-track record written in London and recorded in Manchester, with material developed while Marr was touring the East Coast of North America. That origin story fits Spin: compact, clipped, and bright around the edges, but still restless in the way Marr's best guitar-pop tends to be. The official video frames it as motion rather than nostalgia, leaning on a sharp pulse instead of museum-piece jangle.
The title is carrying some weight. NME and PA's report through the Reading Chronicle both quote Marr describing the album as his most cathartic record, with the title arriving early and becoming the idea the songs gathered around. The same reports say the album will be available on streaming, CD, black vinyl, limited red vinyl, and an artist-store 3 Colour splatter vinyl edition.
Marr also has a busy live calendar around the release. NME lists major solo dates at Manchester's Castlefield Bowl on July 9 and London's OVO Arena Wembley on October 24, along with Dublin's Iveagh Gardens and other European stops. Reading Chronicle adds warm-up shows at Leeds' Stylus on July 6 and O2 Academy Liverpool on July 7, plus a fan presale tied to artist-store preorders.
There is some useful context in the timing. Marr's last few years have included the 2023 best-of Spirit Power, the 2025 live album Look Out Live!, and recent Gorillaz activity. NME's tracklist places Spin first and All In A Life last, with titles like Ophelia and Fire With Fire giving the record a dramatic frame before the full thing is out in the world. A new solo album gives that momentum a cleaner center of gravity. Spin suggests he is still more interested in pressure and forward movement than tasteful legacy maintenance, which is exactly where a Johnny Marr record should start.
