Legendary ska band Madness are the third act to be announced for Forest Live.

The summer concert series is presented by Forestry England, and features gigs in woodland areas around the country, including Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury.

Famous for their legendary live shows, Madness performances are well known for featuring good-humour and exuberance.

In 2019, the band celebrated their 40th anniversary, including the book release ‘Before We Was We: Madness by Madness’ and sold out Roundhouse dates in London.

Commenting on the Forest Live gigs, Madness said: “Madheads come down to the woods, you’ll be in for a big surprise!”

The band is the third act to be revealed for the four-day concert series, following Keane and Will Young and James Morrison.

Madness will be joined by special guests The Farm and guest support from Emily Capell, on Saturday 13 June.
