Paul Weller

2017, marks the 40th anniversary of Paul Weller’s first album, In The City, which he released with The Jam in May 1977. For most artists such a landmark would be greeted with extensive retrospective celebrations: lavish reissues and all that jazz. But Paul Weller is not like most artists, instead releasing a new studio album, because releasing new albums is what Paul Weller does. Always moving forward, almost clinically averse to nostalgia or checking his progress in the rear-view mirror.  And so, continuing his never-ending creative peak, Paul Weller releases his eagerly awaited 13^th studio album A Kind Revolution and announces a UK Arena tour for 2018. Kicking off in Brighton on February 17^th and culminating at The O2 in London, on Saturday, March 3^rd.

With support from The Strypes.

Paul has been a long-time fan of the incendiary young 4-piece for some time. When Paul performed a special set for Record Store Day at the Rough Trade East shop in 2013, he chose The Strypes as his full backing band. Their  precociously talented guitarist Josh McClorey, highly rated by Paul, appears on Paul’s latest album ‘A Kind Revolution’ on the track ‘Satellite Kid’, and also made an appearance on its predecessor ‘Saturns Pattern’.
