George Ezra is one of the biggest selling male artist this decade and is set to perform near Burton this summer.
He has announced dates as part of Forest Live, the summer concert series organised by the Forestry Commission, including a date in July at Cannock Chase Forest.
The announcement heralds a big year for George, ahead of the release of his highly anticipated, soon-to-be-announced second album in March 2018.
His debut album Wanted On Voyage is certified 4x platinum in the UK, and was among the top 10 biggest selling artist albums in this country in both 2014 and 2015, reaching number one in the Official UK Chart and spending 122 weeks in the chart overall.
In little more than 18 months Ezra went from virtual unknown to one of the international breakthrough artists of recent times: taking in a top 10 album in 10 countries; three sold out UK tours; nominations for four BRITs, one BBC Music Award and an Ivor Novello
George returned last summer with a new single Don't Matter Now and the sold out, tongue-in-cheek-titled 'Top Secret Tour', and a summer of festival performances at Glastonbury, V Festival, TRNSMT and the Isle of Wight, among others.
