George Ezra announces Forest Live dates
10th January 2018
Where: Westonbirt Arboretum, near Tetbury
When: Sunday, June 17
George Ezra will be playing Westonbirt Arboretum as part of Forest Live, the summer concert series organised by the Forestry Commission.
One of the biggest selling male artists of the decade, Ezra rose to prominence with the release of his hit single Budapest in 2014, which reached the top 10 in several countries around the world.
The announcement of the Forest Live gig heralds a big year for George, ahead of the release of his highly anticipated, soon-to-be-announced second album in March 2018.
His debut album Wanted On Voyage is certified 4x platinum in the UK, and was amongst the top 10 biggest selling artist albums in this country in both 2014 and 2015, reaching #1 in the Official UK Chart and spending 122 weeks in the chart overall.
In little more than 18 months Ezra went from virtual unknown to one of the international breakthrough artists of recent times. He had a top 10 album in 10 countries; three sold out UK tours; nominations for four BRITs, one BBC Music Award and an Ivor Novello.
George returned last summer with a new single Don't Matter Now and the sold out, tongue-in-cheek-titled 'TOP SECRET Tour', and a summer of festival performances at Glastonbury, V Festival, TRNSMT and the Isle of Wight, amongst others.
Forest Live is a major live music series, managed by the Forestry Commission. Held annually in seven beautiful forest locations across the country, over 1.5 million people have attended a gig in the programme's 17-year history.
Income generated from ticket sales helps look after the nation's forests sustainably, for people to enjoy and wildlife to thrive.
Tickets for George Ezra's Westonbirt concert are priced £34.50 (plus £3.95 booking fee) and are available from 9am this Friday (January 12) from the Forestry Commission box office on 03000 680400, or online at forestry.gov.uk/music
