Paul Weller’s already been announced as performing at two of the three Cure-headlined Riot Fests this September — Toronto and Chicago, but not Denver — and now the modfather has announced four dates in the Midwestern U.S. to fill the gap between those two festival appearances.
Weller will perform in Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis and Cincinnati in the week between the Riot Fest appearances. See full details below.
On June 3, Weller will follow up 1998′s Modern Classics compilation with a new companion best-of — More Modern Classics — that will pick up where the previous set left off, collecting 20 favorites by the former Jam leader recorded over the past 15 years, including a brand-new single, “Brand New Toy,” that you can stream here.

Sept. 8: St. Andrew’s Hall, Detroit, MI
Sept. 10: Varsity Theatre, Minneapolis, MN
