About

Outdoor concert series in Thetford Forest

Thetford Forest is the largest pine forest in the UK stretching from the south of Norfolk to north Suffolk. Composed mainly of heathland with pines and broadleaved trees, it’s the UK’s largest man-made forest covering 18,730 hectares. Every corner of the forest has something waiting to be discovered. Join us among the trees to hear the best live music, connect with nature and discover unique locations across the country.

2024 marked the first year of the new partnership between Forestry England and promoters Cuffe & Taylor to bring even more world renowned artists to the Forest Live series. Thetford Forest welcomed more than 35,000 fans across the weekends with headliners Bryan Adams, Sting, Paloma Faith, Tom Jones & Olly Murs.

This is the ideal concert experience taking place in beautiful natural woodland every summer, with a relaxed atmosphere and an incredible soundtrack.
