Paul Weller - Wake Up The Nation Tour 2010

Paul Weller’s 10th album Wake Up The Nation will be released on April 19th and is available as a limited edition deluxe set plus new concert dates for 2010 have just been announced.

After Gilles Peterson played a couple of tracks from the new album last week on his BBC Radio 1 show (he’s a bit of a fan by all accounts), there’s a bit of a buzz about as the deluxe version features a bonus disc with remixes of the new tracks.

And it’s a right eclectic bunch of remixers, all personally chosen by Paul apparently. After the Keb Darge & Paul Weller Present Lost & Found - Real R’N’B & Soul compilation on BBE last year, you might have thought there would be some Northern/Mod/Soul type choice but he’s still gone for an interesting crew with the likes of Richard Hawley, The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Nick Zinner (who remixes Find The Tourch Burn The Plans under his Little Vampire moniker), Disco wunderkind Kid Zero, the back to form Tunng and psychedelic favs, Amorphous Androgynous (who were really on form at Bestival a few years back, see HERE).

Lovingly presented in a hardback book style case with new photos and sleevenotes written by Irvine Welsh, this is a must for all Weller fans young and old.

And just to keep up the madness, after instantly selling out five nights at London’s Royal Albert Hall in May, Weller will play a UK arena tour throughout November and December 2010 including a night at Wembley Arena plus he has also been confirmed to appear at this year’s V Festival in August - see details below.

As a slight aside, after Peterson did his first B2B with Thom Yorke, he was aiming to get Weller to do the next. Well as it’s going to be Erika Badu on his show next week, he’s missed out but on the strenght of this, Weller vs. Peterson would be a corker.
