One of the most inconic artists of his generation has surprised fans with an unexpected announcement about his forthcoming tour.

Paul Weller, dubbed 'The Modfather' back in the eighties and nineties, has confirmed that he is heading to Llandudno to perform a very rare one off-gig next May. This will be part of a set of dates which will see him visit Venue Cymru and a very select number of locations in the country.

This will be Weller's first UK tour since 2017 with a very limited number of pre-sale tickets available for the Llandudno gig from this Wednesday (30th October) from 9am. General tickets sales are available from Thursday.

Weller achieved fame with the punk and mod revival band The Jam. He had further success with the blue-eyed soul music of The Style Council before establishing himself as a solo artist in 1991.
