MODFATHER Paul Weller is getting ready to rock the region.

The former Jam and Style Council star is playing King George's Hall in Blackburn on Saturday, April 8.

The concert forms part of his latest UK tour. The 10-date tour will follow a headline appearance at the Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust. He is returning to King George's Hall after a sell-out show in March 2015.

He is currently working on a new album which is due for release in the spring. Tickets for the gig are sold out.
