Status Quo will be appearing at four forests around the UK, as part of the Forestry Commission's Annual Forest Tour. The concerts will be supporting The Forestry Commission’s valuable social and environmental programmes.

Commenting on the Forest shows Status Quo's Francis Rossi says, "We are really looking forward to playing in the forests. Fans can rest assured they'll be rocking all over the woods!"

Support comes from Macara at Thetford and Westonbirt; and RPJ Band – (Rick Parfitt Junior) at Cannock and Dalby.

Status Quo will be performing at:-
High Lodge, Thetford Forest, near Brandon, Suffolk, Saturday 7th June.
The National Arboretum, Westonbirt, Glos, Sunday 22nd June.
Cannock Chase Forest, near Rugeley, Staffs, Friday 27th June.
Dalby Forest, near Pickering, North Yorkshire on Saturday 28th June.

Tickets are on sale, priced at £30 for all shows. To buy, 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.
