The headlining performance from Barlow for Forest Live will be on Saturday, June 14, and was announced on Monday morning by Forestry England.

The 53-year-old was born and raised in nearby Frodsham and tickets to the stunning woodland concert series presented by Forestry England will be on pre-sale from Friday, November 29, from 9.30am.

A spokesman for Forest Live said: “A multiple BRIT and Ivor Novello winner, Gary Barlow is one of the nation’s most beloved songwriters and has sold over 50 million records to date.

“Both as part of Take That and as a soloist, Barlow has amassed 24 top-ten hits, with 13 UK number ones under his belt.

“At his Forest Live fixtures this summer, fans can expect Gary to draw from an incredible arsenal of fan favourites both from his time with Take That and his solo days, including ‘Since I Saw You Last’, ‘Greatest Day’, ‘Rule the World’, and the anthemic ‘Never Forget’. 

“Forest Live 2025 takes place at Delamere, as well as three other unique outdoor locations across the country.

“Delamere will also host local heroes Blossoms and Scottish indie-rock legends Snow Patrol in 2025, with more acts to be announced.

“Merging stellar live sets from world-class artists with breathtaking forest backdrops, Forestry England uses the money raised by Forest Live to maintain 1,500 woods and forests around the country, plant trees and continue their vital conservation work.”
