Johnny Marr is also set to give fans an insight into his incredible career when he joins Radio X’s John Kennedy in conversation on 14 June.
The intimate chat, which will take place on Radio X's rooftop in Leicester Square in support of Global’s Make Some Noise, will celebrate the release of his new album, which drops at midnight that night.
Johnny Marr told Radio X he’s looking forward to chatting all things music with John Kennedy at the event, saying: “John’s a real music fan, he really knows his stuff and he keeps his ear to the ground.
“I think that’s a really important part of what broadcasting can be about. He always hits me up to a band or two as well, he gets out and sees a lot of up and coming groups and he’s got a good knack for spotting talent.
“It might be a nice thing to bring my guitar along too...”
