Liverpudlian indie-pop band The Wombats are to headline a special, one night only concert in the woodland location of Delamere Forest as part of Forestry Commission Live Music.
In what is a local gig for the band, Delamere Forest will provide a stunning backdrop for the Summer outdoor performance, providing a natural amphitheatre set in a forest clearing. Full bar and catering services will be available with ample parking provided on site and Delamere train station nearby.
Forestry Commission Live Music is an independent programme bringing music to new audiences without commercial branding or sponsorship. Income generated from ticket sales is spent on improving the local forests for both people and wildlife.
Commenting on the gig, Matthew Murphy from the band said: “We have heard so much about the vibe at Delamere Forest gigs, it's been on our radar for some time and we’re really pleased to be asked to play - here's to a 'Party in a Forest.’”
The Wombats have created some huge indie dancefloor smashes. ‘Kill The Director’, ‘Let’s Dance To Joy Division’, ‘Backfire At The Disco’ and ‘Moving To New York’, all tracks from their first album, established them as one of the most popular indie acts of recent years. The band’s latest album release, ‘This Modern Glitch’ has provided three of the band’s biggest airplay hits to date with its first singles ‘Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)’, ‘Jump into the Fog’ and ‘Techno Fan’. The band has just finished an extensive UK tour including three homecoming shows in Liverpool.
Special guests for the Forestry Commission Live Music show will be announced soon.
