Singer Freya Ridings has been announced as the latest act to perform at this year's Forest Live.

The Forestry England summer gig will take place at the Westonbirt Arboretum with noughties legends Snow Patrol headlining the show.


North London-based Freya Ridings is known for her emotive ballad ‘Lost Without You’ in 2017.

And her Brit-nominated debut album shot her to global success with over 1 billion streams worldwide. She also became the first female artist to fully write and perform a top ten hit since Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’.

Hotly-tipped by pop music icons including Taylor Swift and Florence Welch, Freya has previously wowed fans at Glastonbury and the Coronation Concert.
