The latest artist announced for Dreamland’s Scenic Stage in summer 2026 is British musical legend Paul Weller.

The former The Jam frontman is set to play on Friday 3 July alongside special guests.

Over the course of a career that extends back five decades, Paul Weller has recorded 28 studio albums as well as being a recipient at the Brit Awards, the Ivor Novellos and boasting eight number one albums.

Paul Weller first came to attention with The Jam. The trio he formed with Bruce Foxton (bass) and Rick Buckler (drums) achieved instant success with their 1977 debut single In The City. The album with which it shared its title has come to be regarded alongside Never Mind The Bollocks and London Calling as one of the musical lodestones of the punk era.

After dissolving The Jam at the peak of their powers, Weller – still only 22 – swiftly re-emerged alongside keyboard player Mick Talbot in The Style Council. The duo’s lineup would expand to take in drummer Steve White and vocalist Dee C. Lee, resulting in a string of hits that included Shout To The Top and My Ever Changing Moods – songs that Weller regularly plays to this day.

As a solo artist, Weller forged his own path with acclaimed albums including Wild Wood and Stanley Road, which helped shape a new era of British guitar music. His creative restlessness has continued into the 21st century with records like 22 Dreams, On Sunset, and his latest album 66 (2024).

Tickets will go on O2 and artist pre-sale tomorrow (Wednesday 29th October) at 10am, venue pre-sale on Thursday 30th October at 10am and general sale on Friday 31st October at 10am.
