The Smiths Call Out Fans to Celebrate New Album with 2025 World Tour
Legendary British band The Smiths have announced they’ll be releasing a brand-new album, accompanied by an exciting 2025 world tour, which they’re dedicating to their loyal fan base. This surprising news comes nearly four decades after the band’s initial disbandment in 1987, marking the reunion of Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce for the first time since their iconic final shows.
The upcoming album, titled Echoes of the Past, is rumored to delve into the band’s signature themes of melancholy, love, and rebellion, while reflecting the members’ own personal journeys since parting ways. In a recent interview, Morrissey teased that the album will feature “a blend of nostalgic sounds with a modern twist,” promising fans both a trip down memory lane and new dimensions of the band’s artistry.
Johnny Marr expressed his excitement about the tour, stating, “We’re here because of the fans who’ve kept our music alive over the years. This tour is a tribute to them.” He hinted that the setlist will include classic hits like “This Charming Man” and “There is a Light That Never Goes Out,” along with fresh material from Echoes of the Past.
The 2025 world tour will cover North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, with the first show scheduled in London. Tickets are set to go on sale next month, with presales offering early access for long-time fans.
While The Smiths’ reunion and tour news may be unexpected, it’s clear they’re aiming to reconnect with their audience and reignite the passion that made them one of the most influential bands of their era.
