Adding to the impressive line-up of names set to perform in Gloucestershire, Texas has confirmed it will be playing at Westonbirt Arboretum this summer 2022.

Following the announcement that Jess Glynne will no longer be performing at Forest Live this year, the Glaswegian band has swiftly been named as the replacement.

Formed by Glasgow singer Sharleen Spiteri and bassist Johnny McElhone, the Scottish band are best known for their debut single I Don’t Want A Lover, as well as many more memorable hits.

Texas singer, Sharleen Spiteri said: ‘We last played a Forest Live show in 2011, so for us it’s a welcome return to be performing our hits in such a beautiful setting. We hope to see you there’.

What’s more, Texas will also be joined by special guest and acclaimed singer-songwriter, Rumer, who was first recognised for the debut album Seasons Of My Soul, selling over a million copies.

The Texas concert takes place on Sunday 12 June 2022 at Westonbirt Arboretum – with tickets on sale from Friday 4 February 2022.
