Blondie announces forest concerts for 2013
Blondie has confirmed a very special tour of the nation's woodlands next summer performing their hits as part of the Forestry Commission's annual concert series Forest Live.
Blondie emerged from New York's celebrated new wave scene producing innovative music with their rock/disco, reggae and hip-hop influenced songs. Fronted by pop icon Deborah Harry, their ground-breaking material brought them a stash of hit singles such as "Denis", (I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence Dear, Picture This, Dreaming, Union City Blue and Rapture.

Few acts can match their 20 year span of No 1's from Heart Of Glass, Sunday Girl, Atomic, Call Me, The Tide Is High to Maria. Their singles success complemented by 40 million+ album sales that include classic recordings like Plastic Letters, Parallel Lines and Eat to The Beat has ensured worldwide superstar status for this pioneering band.
Special guest each evening will be The Lightning Seeds performing an acoustic set of their perfect pop songs like Pure, Lucky You and Change.
Forest Live is an independent programme organised by the Forestry Commission 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. With everything required for a great night out, including full catering and bar facilities, the gigs are renowned for their relaxed atmosphere.
