Paul Weller today announces his first tour of North America since 2017. The dates begin with a September 6 show in Red Bank, NJ and end September 27 in downtown Los Angeles at the Orpheum Theatre. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, April 5 at 10 AM local time. The entire tour run can be found below. Weller is touring in support of his upcoming album 66 which is due out on May 24, the day before his 66th birthday. The album is quite reflective and inward thinking. 66 is his 17th solo, and 28th album overall in a career that includes stints leading The Jam and The Style Council. The album was recorded primarily in his own Black Barn Studio. 66 includes contributions from Noel Gallagher, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, Madness’ Suggs McPherson, Richard Hawley, The Blow Monkeys’ Dr Robert, Le SuperHomard’s Christophe Vaillant, and Erland Cooper, with string arrangements by Hannah Peel. The first single from 66, “Soul Wandering,” was co-written with Gillespie. PRAISE FOR “SOUL WANDERING” “With an unmistakable Bowie-feel throughout, the track comes with a chunky, percussive groove and introspective lyrics that see Weller ponder his place in the universe.” NME “…a sleek midtempo rocker that sounds appropriately weathered” Stereogum “…the kind of soulful, sophisticated rock we’ve come to expect from Weller.” Brooklyn Vegan September 2024 06 Red Bank NJ – Count Basie Center for the Arts 07 Brooklyn NY – Kings Theatre 08 Boston MA – House of Blues 10 Glenside PA – Keswick Theatre 11 Washington DC – Lincoln Theatre 13 Toronto ON – History 15 Chicago IL – Vic Theatre 16 Minneapolis MN – First Avenue 19 Seattle WA – The Moore 20 Vancouver BC – Vogue Theatre 22 San Francisco CA – The Fillmore 23 San Francisco CA – The Fillmore 25 El Cajon CA – The Magnolia 26 Anaheim CA – House of Blues 27 Los Angeles CA – Orpheum Theatre www.paulweller.com No backpacks, bags, laptops or tablets allowed in the venue.
