Marr released his fourth and most recent studio album, ‘Fever Dreams Pts 1-4’, last February. The Charlatans’ latest full-length effort, ‘Different Days’ (which featured Marr), came out back in 2017.
This summer will also see Burgess and co make appearances at Y Not and Victorious Festival. Marr’s 2023 live schedule, meanwhile, includes a support slot with The Killers in Edinburgh, and a set at South Facing Festival in London.
Last December, the former Smiths guitarist revealed that he’d written a new song for Blondie’s next album. He previously penned the track ‘My Monster’ on Debbie Harry and co’s 2017 LP ‘Pollinator’.
The Charlatans recently wrapped up a North American co-headline tour with Ride.
Burgess released his fifth solo album, ‘Typical Music’, in September 2022. In an interview with NME at the time, the singer explained: “I’ve always thought I had a ‘White Album’ [The Beatles] in me!
“I’ve always wanted to do [a double album]. I thought I could do one on the last one [2020’s ‘I Love The New Sky’], but just run out of time – not songs, I ran out of time. And with this one, I wanted to just give everything that I had, and that was 22 songs.”
