Hosting world-famous musicians in a unique woodland setting, Forest Live is coming to Westonbirt, The National Arboretum with gigs from Tuesday 17 to Sunday 22 June 2025.

Gloucestershire music fans can experience even more live music at this year's event, with six concerts on the bill compared to last year's five — and the income from ticket sales helping to support the nation's forests for generations to come.

Tickets are still available for five of the six gigs, as well as exclusive Glade VIP tickets for access to a private bar, premium food options and posh toilets, all in a VIP area right at the front of the stage — promising the very best view for your selected show!

Parking may be limited on the day, so it's recommended to book in advance to secure your space.
