Bryan Adams announces three Forest Live shows at Delamere Forest, Thetford Forest and Dalby Forest
Forest Live, the summer concert series presented by Forestry England, has announced that Canadian rock legend Bryan Adams will perform at Delamere Forest, Thetford Forest and Dalby Forest on Sunday 16 June, Thursday 20 June and Friday 21 June 2024 respectively.
Bryan Adams, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, will bring some of the greatest hits of his more than 40-year career to the beautiful forest settings, as well as playing songs from his latest studio album, ‘So Happy It Hurts’. Hailing From Ontario, Canada, Bryan Adams started off as the singer in a glam-rock band, Sweeney Todd before striking out on his own and going on to pen some of the biggest hits of the 80s and 90s including the epic ‘Everything I Do (I Do It For you); ‘Heaven’, ‘Cloud 9’, ‘Run To You’, ‘Straight From The Heart’, Please Forgive Me’, ‘When You’re Gone’ (feat. Melanie C), and the globally celebrated anthem ‘Summer Of ‘69’.
Fans at Thetford Forest will be truly channelling the joy of the Summer of ‘69, watching Adams perform on the longest day of the year for the summer solstice (Thursday 20 June).
Adams joins previously announced headliners at:
Dalby Forest - Nile Rodgers & Chic (22 June)
Thetford Forest - Sting (22 June) and Tom Jones (28 June)
Delamere Forest – Becky Hill (13 June), Sting (14 June) and Nile Rodgers & Chic (15 June)
Forestry England uses the money Forest Live raises to maintain beautiful natural areas for everyone to enjoy, run important conservation projects and keep growing trees. Last year they planted some 7.4 million trees, caring for the nation’s 1,500 woods and forests sustainably and welcoming 291 million visits in 2022-23. Everyone in England lives within a one-hour drive of one of the nation’s forests. Over two million people have enjoyed the Forest Live gigs over the last twenty-three years.
