Kasabian have been confirmed as part of the line-up for Forest Live, the summer concert series organised by the Forestry Commission.

The band will play with guests on June 10, 2018 at Thetford Forest, near Brandon in Suffolk. Tickets go on sale on December 15.

Kasabian completed a Live Nation-promoted UK arena tour at the weekend with two dates at Birmingham Barclaycard Arena.

Their sixth album, For Crying Out Loud (Columbia), debuted at No.1 in May and has so far sold 132,306 copies, according to the Official Charts Company. 

This year’s Forest Live line-up also includes a sold-out show by Gary Barlow, The Script and Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott.

Managed by the Forestry Commission, it is held every year in seven locations across the country. More than 1.5 million fans have attended a Forest Live show over the concert series’ 17-year history. Income from ticket sales helps to support the nation’s forests.
