Sherwood Pines had been one of the regular venues for Forestry England’s nationwide series of summer concerts, called Forest Live, over the last 20 years.
Planned 2020 shows – including Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Jools Holland and co-headliners Will Young and James Morrison – were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, and it was announced that live shows would not be performed at Sherwood Pines in 2021.
Sherwood Pines remained ‘silent’ in 2022 and 2023 due to postponements following challenges from the pandemic.
Police frontman Sting, Nile Rodgers & Chic, and Anne-Marie have been announced as headliners for Forest Live 2024.
Here are 10 of the artists who have previously performed at the Nottinghamshire venue over the last 20 years...
9. Paul Weller
Paul Weller was the last act at the Forest Live show in Sherwood Pines, 2019. He performed a range of solo work and hits from his former bands. Weller achieved fame with the new wave/mod revival band the Jam (1972–1982). He had further success with the blue-eyed soul music of the Style Council (1983–1989) before establishing himself as a solo artist. Photo: Lisa Ferguson

The Scottish rock-band formed in Glasgow in 1990, composed of Fran Healy, Dougie Payne, Andy Dunlop and Neil Primrose.
