On May 25, 2024, Paul Weller turns 66.
To celebrate, the former frontman for The Jam and The Style Council is releasing the appropriately-titled album “66” and hitting the road in support of the new record.
The tour, his first in North America since 2017, kicks off with concerts at Red Bank, NJ’s Hackensack Meridian Health Theater on Friday, Sept. 6 and Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 7.
And while we can’t confirm whether Weller’s collaborators for his upcoming record — including Noel Gallagher, Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie and Madness‘ Suggs McPherson — will perform with him on tour, we do know the best way to find out is live.
If you can’t wait for the upcoming 14-concert trek, tickets can be secured for all shows as soon as today.
Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, April 12, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Paul Weller new music
Ahead of the “66” album release, Weller has released a pair of singles this year.
First up, he dropped the three-minute “Soul Wandering” on Feb. 23. The track is a jaunty, folksy tune with inventive instrumentation simmering beneath the surface. Around one minute in, a backup singer joins Weller and the song kicks into high gear.
He followed that up with somehow simultaneously plaintive and uplifting “Rise Up Singing.”
