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 is not like most artists, instead releasing a new studio album because releasing new albums is what he 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 releases his eagerly awaited 13th studio album, A Kind Revolution, and announces a UK Arena tour for 2018.
Fans will be table to catch Paul at Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena on February 21.
Tickets are priced from from £42.50 plus fees
Paul will be supported by THE STRYPES on his tour dates.
