Singer-songwriter Paul Weller will make his return to Ireland next summer, taking to the Live at the Marquee stage.

The singer, who is no stranger to Ireland, having most recently played King John’s Castle in Limerick last year, will play the tented venue in Cork on Friday, June 26.

Weller, whose career spans five decades, stands in comparison with formative heroes such as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ray Davies.

For Weller, it was that modernist outlook that informed his music as far back as his earliest recordings with The Jam – the trio he formed with Bruce Foxton (bass) and Rick Buckler (drums).

The band achieved instant success with their 1977 debut single In The City and 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, Weller re-emerged alongside keyboard player Mick Talbot in The Style Council. The duo later expanded 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.

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 creativity continued into the 21st century with records such as 22 Dreams, On Sunset, and his latest album, 66.

Weller will also play Fairview Park in Dublin on June 28, 2026, as part of a wider tour which will also see him play multiple venues across the UK over the summer months.

Tickets for Weller at Live at the Marquee will go on sale on Thursday, November 20 from Ticketmaster.ie.
