GEORGE Ezra is the second act to be confirmed for the Forestry Commission's summer concert series at Dalby Forest, near Pickering, newly booked for June 24.
Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday on 03000 680400 and at forestry.gov.uk/music in the wake of the 24-year-old Hertford singer-songwriter adding a third Forest Live show after "phenomenal demand for tickets" for his Westonbirt Arboretum and Cannock Chase Forest concerts down south.
Ezra is to release his second album, Staying At Tamara's, on March 23, having spent 122 weeks on the charts with his number one debut, June 2014's Wanted On Voyage, which spawned the top ten singles Budapest and Blame It On Me. Three sold-out tours, for BRITs nominations, one BBC Music Award and one Ivo Novello Award ensued.
Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott: sold out Dalby Forest concert on June 23
Ezra returned last summer with a new single, Don’t Matter Now, and the sold-out, tongue-in-cheek-titled Top Secret Tour and a summer of festival performances at Glastonbury, V Festival, TRNSMT and the Isle of Wight Festival.
Dalby Forest's first Forest Live concert of 2018 on June 23, featuring Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, with support act Billy Bragg, has sold out already.
