Olly Murs added to Sherwood Pines summer line up

Olly Murs is the latest star to announce he will play at Sherwood Pines as part of this year's Forest Live line up.

Due to phenomenal demand for tickets Olly has added an extra date - June 23, at Sherwood Pines - fellow X Factor alumni Louis Johnson will be his support act on the night.

Last year saw Olly Murs celebrate his fourth consecutive number one album 24 HRS, making him the most successful solo artist ever to come from the X Factor.

Olly kicks off three nights of live music at Sherwood Pines. Tom Jones heads the bill on Saturday June 24 and Elbow play on Sunday January 25.

Forest Live is an independent programme promoted by Forestry Commission England to bring forests to new audiences.

Income generated from ticket sales is spent on protecting, improving and expanding forests and woodlands and increasing their value to people and wildlife.
