Singer-songwriter and Take That frontman Gary Barlow announces gig at High Lodge Thetford Forest in June 2025

A singer-songwriter and boyband legend has been announced as the next headline act at Forest Live at Thetford Forest next summer.

Gary Barlow will perform at High Lodge, near Thetford and Brandon, on June 21 as part of his solo Songbook Tour.

The gig will be a celebration of Gary’s four-decade career.

As part of the group Take That, he has won eight BRIT awards and sold more than 45 million records.

One of the band’s biggest hits Back For Good, which turns 30 in March, is still ranked as one of the UK’s favourite-ever pop songs.

Aside from his achievements with Take That, Gary has co-written and produced music for artists including Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Elton John and Robbie Williams. Most recently he wrote the song Running Wild for JIN from Korean super group BTS.

Earlier this month, Gary toasted the third anniversary of his award-winning wine range with the release of five-part ITV series Gary Barlow’s Wine Tour: South Africa.

At his Forest Live gig, fans can expect Gary to draw from his time with Take That and his solo days, including Since I Saw You Last, Greatest Day, Rule the World and Never Forget.

Forestry England’s High Lodge will also host The Script, Rag’n’Bone Man and James next summer.

Tickets for Gary Barlow go on sale at 9.30am on Friday.
