Little Mix is the latest act to announce their participation in this year's The Forestry Commission's 2014 Forest Tours where bands perform each summer in spectacular woodland locations around the country.

The girl band, whose album, 'DNA', became the highest debut for a British female group's first album in the U.S. charts eclipsing the sixteen-year-old record previously held by the Spice Girls, will be appearing at Westonbirt Arboretum, Nr Tetbury, Gloucestershire on Friday 20th June.

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 and protecting this internationally important tree collection. With everything required for a great night out, including full catering and bar facilities, the concerts are renowned for their relaxed atmosphere.

Commenting on the show, Perrie Edwards for Little Mix said, “We’re really excited to be performing at Westonbirt Arboretum this summer and can’t wait to see all our Mixers in the crowd.”

Over one million music fans have previously attended Forest Live concerts.

Tickets are priced at £36.85 (including booking fee) and go on sale at 9am this Friday 21st February and eFestivals will have links to buy them then.

Forest Live takes place each summer in seven forest locations around the country. Woodland clearings are temporarily transformed into a concert arena creating a safe and relaxed atmosphere for gig-goers.

18% of the country's woods and forests are managed by the Forestry Commission. In England, more than 50% of the population live within 10km of a Forestry Commission managed wood or forest.
