An outdoor summer concert series which was due to take place in Gloucestershire has been postponed.

Forest Live would have seen huge acts Rag N Bone Man, Jess Glynne, Madness and Keane perform in spectacular woodland locations including at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum. Forestry England, which runs the event, said: “The Government’s roadmap out of lockdown has made it clear that we cannot hold our Forest Live concerts this summer.

"We are extremely disappointed, but this is the best way to keep our valued customers safe, as well as the staff, volunteers, contractors and artists that make Forest Live possible."
