Erasure and Simple Minds forest gigs sell-out hope

Two open-air concerts at Cannock Chase are heading for a sell-out.

Only a few tickets remain for next Friday's gig featuring Erasure, with support from Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and for the following night's concert by Simple Minds.

Tickets are £34.50 for Friday and £35 for Saturday.

The annual event at Cannock Forest, near Rugeley, is organised by the Forestry Commission.
