A pop icon will headline an outdoor concert next summer.

Ronan Keating will perform at High Lodge in Thetford Forest, during Forestry England’s Forest Live concert series, on Tuesday June 15.

The show is part of his Just Getting Started World Tour, which marks more than 30 years in music.

Mr Keating said: "I’ve been incredibly lucky to have spent more than three decades doing what I love.

"I’ve travelled the world, made records I’m enormously proud of and, most importantly, had audiences singing those songs back to me night after night.

"I feel creatively energised, deeply grateful and more connected to what I do than ever, and I can’t wait to share that with people around the world."

He will be joined by Blue, who are also celebrating a milestone with more than 25 years in the music industry.

The tour will feature a mix of Boyzone classics and solo hits, bringing together the songs and stories that have made Mr Keating a household name.

He has sold more than 45 million records worldwide and holds a Guinness World Record for 30 consecutive UK Top 10 singles.

His debut solo album, Ronan, went straight to No. 1 in the UK and achieved four-times platinum status, spending 63 weeks in the charts.

Blue, known for their early 2000s hits and three consecutive UK No. 1 albums, continue to be regarded as one of the UK’s top pop acts.

A spokesperson for Forestry England said: "Forestry England manage and care for the nation’s 1,500 woods and forests.

"They use the money Forest Live raises to maintain these beautiful natural areas for everyone to enjoy, run important conservation projects and keep growing trees."

Also performing on the night will be Australian pop trio Germein Sisters.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday, September 25, via www.forestlive.com.
