Paul Weller has announced a short run of US tour dates next month.
“It’s just sort of a financial thing, really, for me,” Weller has told Billboard of the tour’s itinerary. “It’s difficult to go to play to 400 people in Texas. I have to make it pay; band and equipment and all that is expensive, so it never gets any more extensive than major cities on the east and west coasts. But I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there.”
Weller begins with three New York shows at the Apollo, Webster Hall and Music Hall Of Williamsburg on July 25th, 26th and 27th, before moving on to Boston, Washington DC and Philadelphia.
“It’s the home of a lot of music I grew up with,” Weller continues. “I’m not expecting American chart domination or to be No. 1, and just want to come and play and still go home with my shirt on my back.”
