Will Young and James Morrison have announced co-headlining dates as part of Forest Live, the summer concert series presented by Forestry England.

The winner of the inaugural series of Pop Idol, Will Young has had four number 1 albums as well as four number 1 singles.

Singer-songwriter James Morrison shot to fame when his debut album, ‘Undiscovered’ sold over a million copies, and has also had five top 10 singles.

The special concert 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’.

Forest Live is a major outdoor live music series held every year by Forestry England, in venues across the country including Gloucestershire’s Westonbirt Arboretum.

It introduces forests to new audiences in unique, natural woodland arenas around the country, and over the last 19 years has seen over 1.9 million people attend.

Commenting on the tour, 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.”

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!”

The pair will be performing at Westonbirt Arboretum on Friday 12th June.
