Paul Weller has announced a new album 'A Kind Revolution' and a run of huge arena dates for 2018. Check out details and full tour dates below. 

Following the release of Saturns Pattern in 2015, the Modfather will return with his 13th solo studio album on May 12.

The former Jam frontman broke the news with a teaser clip on his social channels, with a 40-second snippet of new material set to painted stencil artwork which displays the album title.

A Kind Of Revolution was written and recorded at Black Barn Studios in Surrey. There are multiple guest spots across the album, with Boy George, PP Arnold, Robert Wyatt and more making appearances. 

Weller has also mapped-out a string of UK arena dates, and will take the record on tour in 2018. Dates include peformances in Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow and Nottingham - before the tour comes to a close with a massive show at The O2 Arena, London. 

Weller has kept himself busy of late. Back in February a remix collaboration with Noel Gallagher and Syd Arthur surfaced - with Weller adopting the moniker Sine Of 4 for the project. He also turned his hand to acting and made a cameo appearance as a Viking in the latest series of Sherlock.

Paul Weller will play a show at the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow (March 31) for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
