Paul Weller

Paul Weller heads to Southampton on 20 June 2026 at Guildhall Square for a set that traces the path he’s carved through British music. From the taut energy of The Jam to The Style Council’s soul-jazz turns and the grounded songwriting of his solo years, he moves between mod-leaning rock, folk, rhythm and blues and crafted pop. The show draws on multiple chapters, where sharp riffs meet warm keys and brass, with room for recent material from On Sunset and 66 alongside staples like Wild Wood or The Changingman.

Backed by a tight band, Weller treats his catalogue as a living repertoire. The groove and melodies stay at the centre, whether he leans into punchy, guitar-led numbers or slower, reflective pieces. Decades in, his voice keeps its direct edge and the arrangements stay nimble: crisp rhythms, textured guitars, flashes of soul. A summer night that connects the Jam years, the Style Council explorations and today, played in the open air of Guildhall Square.
