Paul Weller has unveiled details of his new studio album Saturn's Pattern - and a huge UK tour in November. Full tour dates are below.
The Modfather's 12th studio album was recorded at Black Barn Studios in Surrey, produced by Jan “Stan” Kybert and features guests including The Strypes’ Josh McClorey and The Jam's original guitarist Steve Brookes. Weller has also unveiled the first video for 'White Sky', a rage-fuelled blast at those in power.

Weller has previously described Saturns Pattern as a "defiantly 21st Century" record. Writing in Uncut Magazine Weller explained "I can't compare it to any of my other albums. I think it's different not just for me, but different from what else is around."
Weller has also announced one of his biggest ever arena tours in the autumn. Tickets go on pre-sale from 9am on Friday 13 February. For tickets and more information click here.
