Blondie have pushed their planned UK Tour dates to spring 2022.
The group were set to hit the road with Garbage on the ‘Against All Odds’ Tour in autumn this year, but the shows have now been postponed.
While an explanation for the move has not been given, Debbie Harry and co. have enlisted The Smiths star Marr – who contributed to their 2017 album ‘Pollinator’ – as the new support act.
Just announced: Our 10 date "Against The Odds" UK tour is to be postponed until April – May 2022 with special guest @Johnny_Marr!

“Having collaborated with Johnny on Blondie’s last album, and with plans for a new collaboration on our next album, we are looking forward to a long-overdue return to the UK, and even better, to sharing the stage with the inspirational musical influence that is Johnny Marr,” said Debbie.
Drummer Clem Burke added: “It is a disappointment to have to postpone our UK tour until April 2022. We will now be joined by our special guest & friend Johnny Marr.
“We’re happy to continue our relationship with Johnny that began with his contribution to our last album ‘Pollinator’. Looking forward to seeing all our UK fans in the spring.”
