British music icon Paul Weller has today announced two massive outdoor summer shows in Yorkshire.
The legendary singer-songwriter will take to the stage at TK Maxx presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Friday June 12 before he heads to Halifax to play TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall on Sunday June 14.
Tickets for both shows go on general sale at 10am on Friday October 31 via thepiecehall.co.uk and scarboroughopenairtheatre.com
Over the course of a career which extends five decades, the songs of Paul Weller are woven into the tapestry of British music. His body of work totals 28 studio albums – eight which have topped the UK charts – together with several BRIT and Ivor Novello Awards.
With The Jam, Weller and Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler achieved instant success with their 1977 debut single In The City. The album with which it shared its title has come to be regarded alongside Never Mind The Bollocks and London Calling as one of the musical lodestones of the punk era.
After dissolving The Jam at the peak of their powers, Weller – still only 22 – swiftly re-emerged alongside keyboard player Mick Talbot in The Style Council resulting in a string of hits that included Shout To The Top and My Ever Changing Moods – songs that Weller regularly plays to this day.
As a solo artist, Weller forged his own path with acclaimed albums including Wild Wood and Stanley Road, which helped shape a new era of British guitar music. His creative restlessness has continued into the 21st century with records like 22 Dreams, On Sunset, and his latest album 66 (2024) – a vibrant, life-affirming work that reaffirms his enduring influence and commitment to artistic progression.
Weller is no stranger to The Piece Hall and Scarborough Open Air Theatre and having played sold out shows at the venues in 2022 and 2024 respectively.
