Forest Live returns to Cannock Chase for 2025 with Sting headlining.
Forest Live, Forestry England’s summer concert series presented by Forestry England and Cuffe & Taylor, has announced its return to four stunning woodland locations – including Forestry England Cannock Chase – for 2025.
17-time GRAMMY Award-winning artist Sting has been confirmed as the first headliner, with many more artists set to be revealed.
Merging stellar performances from world-class acts with beautiful outdoor locations to create an atmosphere like no other, Forest Live 2025 will take place at four forest venues: Forestry England Cannock Chase, Delamere Forest, High Lodge, Thetford and Westonbirt Arboretum.
With virtuoso guitarist and longtime collaborator, Dominic Miller, and dynamic drummer Chris Maas (Mumford & Sons, Maggie Rogers), the band will perform the most electrifying hits and rarities from Sting’s timeless discography at Forestry England Cannock Chase on 27th June 2025. The shows follow the launch of the Sting 3.0 World Tour in Europe and North America this summer.
Known for his groundbreaking work as a solo artist and as the front man and songwriter in seminal group The Police, Sting has consistently pushed the boundaries of musical innovation throughout his illustrious career.
The Sting 3.0 Tour represents a new dynamic era showcasing selections from his vast catalogue through the urgent lens of a tight three-piece combo and inspired by the release of his new song I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart) – mixed by 4-time GRAMMY Award-winning mix engineer Robert Orton – released 5th September on Cherrytree Music Company/Interscope Records.
Over two million people have enjoyed the Forest Live gigs over the last 23 years. This year sees Forestry England present the concert series in partnership with Live Nation’s Cuffe & Taylor for the second year running.
