Today this could be the greatest day of our lives…
Gary Barlow has scheduled a stop-off at Delamere Forest on his forthcoming tour.
The Take That frontman, from Frodsham, will be the homecoming headliner for a very special Forest Live gig on 14th June 2025.
He’s taking his Songbook solo tour across the UK and Ireland, marking four decades as one of the country’s most successful songwriters and record producers.
As part of boyband Take That, he won eight BRIT Awards and sold more than 45 million records.
One of the band’s biggest hits, Back For Good, will be 30 years old in March 2025, and is still ranked as one of the UK’s favourite pop songs.
It reached number one on its release in March 1995 and remained at the top of the charts for four consecutive weeks, going on to become the band’s biggest-selling song of the 90s.
Aside from his accomplishments with Take That, Gary Barlow has also co-written and produced music for other renowned artists including Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Elton John and Robbie Williams.
Earlier this month he toasted the third anniversary of his award-winning wine range – Gary Barlow Wines – with the release of a five-part tv series on ITV, Gary Barlow’s Wine Tour: South Africa.
At his Forest Live gig 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 will take place at four forest venues – Cannock Chase Forest in Staffordshire, Delamere Forest in Cheshire, High Lodge in Thetford and Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire.
Merging stellar performances from world-class acts with beautiful outdoor locations they create an atmosphere like no other.
Delamere Forest will also play host to Blossoms and Snow Patrol in 2025, with more acts yet to be announced.
