Following on from his spectacular night at the Hop Farm Family Park near Tonbridge last month, The Jam and Style Council frontman will now be playing the biggest hits from his impressive career for a second time this summer.

“It’s brilliant to announce these UK summer shows for 2022 and to be able to play outdoors again after such a long time,” says Paul. “Can’t wait!”

Thankfully, it looks like the musician has picked the perfect time to head down to the seaside venue as the scorching weather is set to continue into the weekend.

Alongside his The Jam bandmates, including bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler, Paul spearheaded the Mod revival in the late 70s and early 80s.

The band scored a string of huge hits, such as Going Underground and A Town Called Malice.

After their split, the frontman went onto form the Style Council with keyboard player Mick Talbot and has also carved out a successful solo career from the ‘90s through to the present day.

The iconic mod musician will be supported at his Dreamland show by Miles Kane.

Miles Kane is best known as the co-frontman of the Last of the Shadow Puppets with the Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner.

Miles has also released four solo albums since 2011, two of which reached the UK Top Ten Album Chart.
