Van Morrison and The Corrs to play at Westonbirt Arboretum

Two great Irish acts complete the Forest Live 2024 line-up at Westonbirt Arboretum.

The Corrs and Van Morrison will be playing on Saturday, July 6, while Van Morrison joins the party on Sunday, July 7.

Multi-million selling sibling quartet The Corrs rose to prominence in the nineties, pioneering their own seamless blend of traditional Celtic music and enchanting pop-rock. They created countless classics including "Runaway", "What Can I Do?" and "Breathless".

Having sold over 40 million albums since their debut "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" in 1995, the band have earned two Grammy nominations, a BRIT Award for Best International Group and are one of only a handful of acts to hold the top two positions simultaneously in the UK album chart.

Van Morrison is one of the most prolific recording artists and live performers of his era. One of music's true originals, he has a unique legacy rooted in his upbringing in post-war Belfast.

His unmatched vocals and legendary songwriting talents have produced many instant classics, including Top 40 pop hit "Brown Eyed Girl", "Gloria", "Bright Side of the Road" and "Moondance".

With six Grammy Awards, an Ivor Novello, a BRIT Award for 'Outstanding Contribution to Music' and two honorary doctorate degrees under his belt, Van Morrison's catalogue and career continues to be one of the most revered in music history.

Pre-sale tickets are available from 9am on Wednesday 27 March with tickets going on general sale from 9am Thursday 28 March.

Acts already announced for Westonbirt's summer series of concerts are global pop icon Anne-Marie, disco legends Nile Rodgers & CHIC and soul artist Gregory Porter.
