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 released his eagerly awaited 13th studio album A Kind Revolution to critical acclaim. The album will be followed with a UK Arena tour in 2018, which will hit The O2 on Saturday, March 3rd.

Supporting the upcoming tour will be Irish four-piece The Strypes.
