Anne-Marie thrilled a stunning concert venue right in the heart of Cannock Chase’s beautiful wilderness.

Swathes of fans, including many young children soaking up their first concert experience, enjoyed a magical opening to the three-day Forest Live extravaganza that also brings The Charlatans, Johnny Marr and Olly Murs to headline over the next two nights.

This was a true family affair, though. Anne-Marie’s list of smash hits, so familiar from radio, seemed endless as she belted out, among many others, ‘Alarm’, ‘2002’, ‘Ciao Adios’ and ‘Rockabye’.
