The Modfather plays Edinburgh Castle July 2024
Few people have had as great an influence on the British music scene as Paul Weller. As frontman of The Jam, Weller spearheaded the Mod revival in the late '70s and early '80s, scoring a string of hits, including Going Underground and A Town Called Malice. After The Jam split in the early '80s, Weller immediately formed the neo-soul and American R&B-influenced Style Council with The Merton Parka’s Mick Talbot. Following their disbandment in 1990, Weller embarked on a solo career, with Talbot remaining as a regular contributor.
As Britpop began to dominate in the early and mid '90s, Weller’s influence became apparent, particularly on the likes of Oasis, Blur and Ocean Colour Scene. Following a successful solo bow with his self-titled debut in 1992, Weller teamed up with OCS guitarist Steve Craddock for his second solo album Wild Wood, an album that saw both Weller and Ocean Colour Scene move up the charts.
Buoyed by the success of the top ten hit The Changingman, Weller’s third solo album Stanley Road went straight to No.1 in 1995. With major players like Noel Gallagher acknowledging his influence, Weller became known as the godfather of Britpop or the “Modfather”.
Despite claiming that 2001’s well-received Heliocentric would be his final studio album, Weller continued to be productive throughout the '00s, releasing two live albums, a collection of covers and three further studio albums.
Weller started off a new decade as relevant as ever, earning a Mercury Prize nomination for 2010’s Wake Up The Nation. His follow-up Sonik Kicks debuted at No.1 while its successor Saturn’s Pattern went close, landing at No.2 on the UK album charts. In 2017, Weller released his first film score, for the boxing film Jawbone.
Weller’s 2018 album True Meanings found the songwriter backed by an orchestra, and he went on to promote the record with a series of gigs at the Royal Festival Hall, accompanied by a full orchestra. These shows were recorded and released as Other Aspects in 2018.
In 2020, following the release of On Sunset, Paul Weller announced Mid-Sommer Musik, a 60-minute live stream show set to be broadcast on 12 November 2020.
In October 2023 Weller was announced to headline Edinburgh Castle on 14 July 2024.

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Paul Weller his 40 years of experience shows, he is a proper showman!
Didn't think much of support act, but everyone has to start somewhere. I was on my own but didn't feel it was a problem, parking next to venue was great stewards to. Paul Weller was fab, some of the songs I didn't know but it didn't matter, the oldies are the goodies. The only thing was I was standing as I'd bought a resale ticket so it was a bit cramped at times & very hot. Overall I really enjoyed the show.
An excellent gig by the Modfather himself and his great band. Concert last over 2 years, many hits were played old and new. Favourite was Town called Malice.
There are no words to describe how phenomenal Paul Weller is live. I'm in awe. Bloomin fantastic
Amazing gig at the best venue. Paul Weller was fantastic as were his band
A fantastic night of hits spanning his career from Paul Weller again a brilliant setlist .
Unbelievable evening at the great Glasgow Barrowlands. Paul Weller remains the best in the business both vocally and on guitar. His band members equally brilliant. An unforgettable gig with songs past and present. 👍😁
Paul Weller and his backing band were superb played for over two hours and loads of audience participation too
Paul Weller is such an amazing artist who has wrote some of the best songs since the 70s, his passion for his music and performance is absolutely outstanding and he also happens to be a lovely guy who has kindness and integrity as well . I won't ever forget this Concert it was really overwhelming!
