Weller, who has enjoyed six era-defining albums with The Jam and 11 as a solo artist, said: "It will be good for me to be back in the woods.

"I really enjoy the unique atmosphere of these gigs as do the fans."

The 54-year-old enjoys the mantle as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of British popular music and his most recent Number One release 'Sonik Kicks', follows his 2010 Mercury Music Prize-nominated 'Wake Up The Nation'.

Also known as 'The Modfather', Weller is the first artist to sign up to next year's series.
