PAUL WELLER ANNOUNCES FIRST NORTH AMERICAN TOUR SINCE 2017

FIRST DATE IS SEPTEMBER 6 IN RED BANK, NJ

SHOWS ARE IN SUPPORT OF UPCOMING ALBUM 66

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.”
