More names will be joining Anne Marie, Gregory Porter and Nile Rogers and Chic at Westonbirt Arboreum's Forest Live.

The yearly event brings big-name acts to the unusual outdoor location and has just confirmed that The Corrs and Van Morrison will be the final two headliners for this year's slate. 

A Westonbirt spokesperson has expressed their delight at booking these two acts for the event

They said: "One of the most prolific recording artists and live performers of his era, Van Morrison is one of music’s true originals with a unique legacy rooted in his upbringing in post-war Belfast. He will be headlining Westonbirt on July 7."

Morrison is well known for classic hits such as Top 40 pop hit 'Brown Eyed Girl', 'Gloria', 'Bright Side of the Road' and 'Moondance'.

Wiltshire Times:

He has six Grammy Awards, an Ivor Novello, a BRIT Award for ‘Outstanding Contribution to Music’ and two honorary doctorate degrees under his belt. 

The spokesperson added: "Set to headline Westonbirt on July 6 2024, multi-million-selling sibling quartet The Corrs rose to prominence in the nineties, pioneering their own seamless blend of traditional Celtic music and enchanting pop-rock. They created countless classics including 'Runaway', 'What Can I Do?' and 'Breathless'."

Their Forest Live fixture will see the band perform tracks from the acclaimed album ‘Talk on Corners’, plus a selection of their greatest hits.

Already announced, Gregory Porter will perform on July 4, Anne Marie on July 5 and Nile Rogers and Chic on July 12. 

Forestry England uses the money Forest Live raises to maintain beautiful natural areas for everyone to enjoy, run important conservation projects and keep growing trees.

Last year they planted some 7.4 million trees, caring for the nation’s 1,500 woods and forests sustainably and welcoming 291 million visits in 2022-23.

Everyone in England lives within a one-hour drive of one of the nation’s forests.
