Crowded House will be appearing at three forests around the UK, as part of the Forestry Commission's Annual Forest Tour. Last year saw the reformation of Crowded House, fronted by Neil Finn, and the release of the acclaimed new album 'Time On Earth'. The concerts will be supporting The Forestry Commission’s valuable social and environmental programmes.

The Forestry Commission is committed to taking woodlands to new audiences, and making them relevant to people in new ways. The forest tour is self-sustaining, paying for itself, and providing valuable revenue to plough back into the woodland in a variety of environmental and social projects.

Crowded House will be performing at:-
Sherwood Pines Forest Park, Nr Edwinstowe, Notts on Friday 20 June
Westonbirt National Arboretum, Nr Tetbury, Glos on Saturday 21 June
High Lodge, Thetford Forest, Nr Brandon, Suffolk on Thursday 10 July

Tickets are on sale now priced at £30 for all shows. To buy your tickets click here.

Disabled users:
There is a disabled parking at every site and they all have a wheelchair platform although the nice thing is because of the arena’s design wheelchair users often spend the time with their group as there is plenty of space and it is flat. There is a hotline number to call for further information: 01842 814612.

The concerts are a vital part of Forestry Commission's drive to attract more and new people into Britain's forests and to help protect England's precious woodland resource. All profits from the concerts are put back into local projects and give valuable support to the Commission's work. In recent years, these have included habitat creation for endangered butterflies; health projects to encourage the young and old to get out and about in the natural environment and installing woodfuel heating systems to help contribute towards the fight against climate change.

More information will be here when available.
