On Tuesday night at her show in Manchester, England, PJ Harvey brought a special guest out on stage: Johnny Marr. Watch footage of the two performing together below.

The exciting moment came about halfway through Harvey’s second set at Manchester’s Albert Hall on October 3rd. Marr graced the stage and was met with enthusiastic applause, after which the two launched into a rendition of Harvey’s 2004 track “The Desperate Kingdom of Love.”

Later in the set, Marr once again joined Harvey and her band, helping them close out the night with two encore tunes: “C’Mon Billy” and “White Chalk.” Watch fan-recorded clips of the three songs below.

Taking to Twitter after the show, Marr shared a photo from the gig with the caption, “Brilliant show by the amazing [PJ Harvey] and her magic band. A real privilege to play those songs. Love ya, Polly”

Harvey is in the midst of her first tour since 2017, in support of her new album, I Inside the Old Year Dying. Speaking about the performances in a recent interview, she explained that her new live show is “a look at all of my material over the years,” hence the two sets. The first set is dedicated to I Inside, while the second set features songs from throughout Harvey’s career. In the same interview, Harvey also hinted that a 2024 North American tour may be up next.
