As part of the forestry commission's Forest Tour, Steps will be bringing their reunion tour to Westonbirt Arboretum, in Gloucestershire on Sunday 22nd July.

The pop group comprising Lee Latchford-Evans, Claire Richards, Lisa Scott-Lee, Faye Tozer and Ian Watkins (aka H) reformed last year for a documentary series, and then announced a UK arena tour, and released a Greatest Hits album, 'The Ultimate Collection' that entered the charts at the top, becoming the band's third UK No1 album.

Steps dominated the charts over a 5-year period with a run of 14 consecutive top 5 singles including 'One For Sorrow', 'Heartbeat/Tragedy', 'Love's Got A Hold Of My Heart', 'Deeper Shade Of Blue', 'After The Love Has Gone', 'When I Said Goodbye/Summer Of Love' and 'Stomp'.

Commenting on the shows, Ian Watkins said, "We are all really up for performing our hits in such a fantastic setting and promise a Steptacular show."

Tickets are priced at £36, and go on sale at 9am this Friday, 27th January, and eFestivals will have links for you to buy them then.

Forestry Commission Live Music concerts are renowned for their relaxed atmosphere, and income generated from ticket sales is spent on improving the local forest for both people and wildlife.
