Paul Weller

On 12 June 2026, Paul Weller plays Scarborough Open Air Theatre, bringing more than four decades of British songwriting to the North Yorkshire coast. From the punch and bite of The Jam to the sleek grooves of The Style Council and a rich solo catalogue, Weller moves with ease between tight mod-leaning rock, blue-eyed soul, folk textures and R&B inflections, carried by a band that knows how to keep things lean and alive on stage.

His sets often draw across every period: razor-edged early cuts rubbing shoulders with The Style Council’s jazz-funk shades, then the warm, melodic sweep of his solo years. Expect the melodic grit of Wild Wood and The Changingman, the crystalline balladry of You Do Something to Me, and newer material that shows how he keeps refreshing the palette, from On Sunset to 66. The energy stays forward, the arrangements breathe, and the songs land with that clipped, melodic drive that has defined his writing since the start.

Whether you come for the mod-era urgency, the soulful detours or the more reflective recent work, this date in Scarborough offers a widescreen tour through Weller’s songbook, played with focus and without nostalgia.
