Hosting world-famous musicians in a unique festival setting, Forest Live is coming to Westonbirt, The National Arboretum, from Thursday 8 to Saturday 10 June 2023.

Promising a spectacular showcase of British talent, Gloucestershire music fans can see the likes of Paul Weller, Tom Grennan and Jack Savoretti at this year's event – with the income from ticket sales helping to support the nation's forests for generations to come.

Tickets are still available for all three gigs – as well as three-show festival tickets, which provide access to the whole series of concerts at Westonbirt Arboretum – via forestryengland.uk/westonbirt/forest-live.

Paul Weller at Forest Live 2023

'Forest Live stalwart' and The Jam legend, Paul Weller, is returning to Westonbirt Arboretum on Thursday 8 June 2023. 

He's made a record-smashing 25 appearances at the Forestry England concert series since 2004, treating audiences to performances of memorable hits from The Jam and The Style Council's discography, as well as his long career as a solo artist.

This year, he's supported by brand-new band Far From Saints, led by Stereophonics' Kelly Jones with Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker from US band The Wind And The Wave; with a set from rising star Seb Lowe, a singer-songwriter from Oldham, to open the bill.

Tom Grennan at Forest Live 2023

Chart-topping singer-songwriter, Tom Grennan, is playing at Westonbirt Arboretum on Friday 9 June 2023.

Coinciding with the release of his third album, What Ifs & Maybes, the indie popstar is performing at Forest Live as part of his UK arena tour – giving fans another chance to hear his best anthems like 'Something in the Water' and the platinum-selling hit 'Little Bit of Love'.

Support acts on the night include indie folk artist, Matilda Mann, and rising pop star, Liv Dawson.

Jack Savoretti at Forest Live 2023

Taking to the Forest Live stage for the first time since 2019, Jack Savoretti is performing at Westonbirt Arboretum on Saturday 10 June 2023.

The Anglo-Italian singer has become increasingly popular since his first breakthrough in 2006, with his two most recent albums, Singing to Strangers and Europiana, topping the UK Albums Chart.

It's set to be a night of nineties nostalgia, too, with very special guest Natalie Imbruglia opening for Savoretti to celebrate 25 years since the release of her debut album, which features her iconic hit 'Torn'.
