Jess Glynne has announced dates as part of Forest Live 2019. One of the five shows will be held at Dalby Forest, near Pickering in North Yorkshire.

In 2014 a guest spot on Clean Bandit’s top hit ‘Rather Be’ brought Jess Glynne to prominence and with her debut album ‘I Cry When I Laugh’ the following year, she delivered one of the defining British pop records of the era.

At the time of writing it has been a chart staple for 170 weeks with triple platinum sales. Her music has been a succession of hit singles such as ‘Right Here’, ‘Real Love’, ‘Hold My Hand’ and ‘Don't Be So Hard On Yourself’.

Glynne's second studio album, Always In Between (2018) also debuted at Number 1 in the UK. Success continues with the singles ‘All I Am’ and ‘I'll Be There’, a seventh top spot giving Jess Glynne the record for most Number 1 singles scored by a British female solo artist.

Forest Live is a major outdoor live music series held every summer by Forestry Commission England in seven forests. Over 1.75 million people have attended a forest gig in the last eighteen years.

Money raised from ticket sales helps to look after the nation’s forests sustainably, for people to enjoy and wildlife to thrive.
