Paul Weller Opens Summer Tour With Sold-Out Scarborough Show

A 31-song, career-spanning set underlines Weller's cross-era draw, boosting the venue's busiest season since reopening in 2010.

Overview

  • Paul Weller kicked off his summer UK and Ireland tour with a sold-out show at Scarborough Open Air Theatre on June 12, 2026, delivering a 31-song set that spanned his work with The Jam, The Style Council and his solo career.
  • Miles Kane opened the evening to an enthusiastic early crowd and Weller told the audience it would be a long set, a remark that matched the high-energy, extended performance reported by attendees.
  • The programme mixed staples such as That's Entertainment, You Do Something To Me, Wild Wood and The Changingman with unexpected covers including Move On Up and Long Hot Summer.
  • The Scarborough season is hosting 28 concerts this year and is the venue's busiest run since its 2010 reopening, with remaining dates and tickets available via Ticketmaster, Live Nation and the theatre's site.
  • Weller's return to the Yorkshire coast for the first time since 2024 reinforced his enduring appeal across generations and helped sustain a packed seaside concert season that is likely to boost local footfall and ticket demand for upcoming shows.
