Rock legend Bryan Adams has announced a summer concert at Dalby Forest next summer.

Forest Live, the summer concert series presented by Forestry England, said Adams will be performing on Friday, June 21.

Adams, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, will bring some of the greatest hits of his more than 40-year career to the beautiful forest settings, as well as playing songs from his latest studio album, ‘So Happy It Hurts’.

Hailing From Ontario, Canada, Bryan Adams started off as the singer in a glam-rock band, Sweeney Todd before striking out on his own and going on to pen some of the biggest hits of the 80s and 90s including the epic ‘Everything I Do (I Do It For you); ‘Heaven’, ‘Cloud 9’, ‘Run To You’, ‘Straight From The Heart’, Please Forgive Me’, ‘When You’re Gone’ (feat. Melanie C), and the globally celebrated anthem ‘Summer Of ‘69’.

Bryan's booking on June 21, follows the announcement Nile Rodgers and Chic will be performing at the North Yorkshire venue next summer. They will be at Dalby Forest in 2024 on June 22 with support coming from Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
