Two of the most successful male vocalists of the 21st Century will co-headline a concert in the Cotswolds next summer as part of the Forest Live series.

James Morrison and Will Young will be appearing at Westonbirt Arboretum, near Tetbury, on Friday, June 12...and tickets go on sale this Friday, November 22.

Will Young has spent much of the last two decades at the forefront of pop, having won the inaugural series of Pop Idol which shot him to national fame.

A chart-storming career followed including seven top 5 albums (four reaching the top spot) and four number 1 singles such as Leave Right Now and Jealousy ensuring his standing as an iconic part of noughties UK pop culture.

With the release of his debut album, Undiscovered, singer-songwriter, James Morrison was catapulted into the limelight. The album went on to sell over a million copies with fans being enraptured by the beauty of his once-in-a-generation voice.

His five Top 10 singles all rank among the biggest of their era, including the breakthrough smashes You Give Me Something and Wonderful World, plus the huge Nelly Furtado collaboration Broken Strings.

The special concerts will see both BRIT Award winning artists perform individual sets that include greatest hits and material from their latest albums: Will's Lexicon and James's You're Stronger Than You Know.

Commenting on the tour, Will Young said: "Both James and I have fond memories of appearing as part of Forest Live as solo artists in the past. We love the work Forestry England does, so we are glad to be back again in what promises to be a fantastic double-header of a show."

James Morrison added: "For the last 20 years Will has been at the forefront of British popular culture. That's a massive achievement. I think our sets will complement each other in a special way and I'm really looking forward to our shows together. It'll be a great night out!"
