Jack Savoretti and special guest Natalie Imbruglia have announced dates as part of Forest Live 2023, the exciting summer concert series presented by Forestry England.

Forest Live is an outdoor live music series that allows visitors to enjoy their favourite performers while marvelling at the majesty of forests.

Over 2 million people have attended a Forest Live gig in the last twenty-two years, enjoying great music and supporting the nation’s forests when buying a ticket.

Going to a concert helps Forestry England create beautiful places for people to enjoy, run important conservation projects and keep growing trees. Last year they planted some 6.8 million trees, caring for the nation’s 1,500 woods and forests sustainably and welcoming 363 million visits annually.

Since Jack Savoretti's initial breakthrough with BBC Radio 2 airplay in 2006, a succession of crafted albums has built the Anglo-Italian singer-songwriter an impressive career. ‘Written in Scars’ (2014) and ‘Sleep No More’ (2016) confirmed his growing popularity with gold-selling status and these were superseded by No 1 albums ‘Singing To Strangers’ (2019) and ‘Europiana’ (2021) which spawned ‘Europiana Encore’, a special extended edition released this year.

This month, Natalie Imbruglia celebrated the 25th anniversary of her acclaimed debut album ‘Left Of The Middle’ featuring the worldwide smash hit ‘Torn’, a song that touched so many people and continues to resonate as a top-streamed single from the nineties. Natalie has released 5 more studio albums, including 2021’s ‘Firebird’, and enjoyed chart success with top 10 hits such as ‘Big Mistake’, ‘Smoke’, ‘Wrong Impression’ and ‘Shiver’.

Commenting on the booking, Jack Savoretti said, “I am delighted that my dear friend Natalie will be joining me to perform her hits as part of Forest Live. It’s surely going to prove an amazing evening in these beautiful woodland surroundings. We hope to see you there.”
