A Forestry England spokesman said: "We are excited to announce Anne-Marie is performing at Forest Live 2024. Anne-Marie is one of the world’s most-loved and successful, globally renowned pop stars of our time and has firmly cemented herself as one of the biggest in the UK. She promises to bring an unmissable live show to the forests next summer."
Further acts will be announced for Cannock Chase in due course. The Cannock Chase concerts began in 2006 and have attracted the likes of Status Quo, Paloma Faith, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, George Ezra, Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Tom Jones and Texas. This year's headline acts were Madness, Tom Grennan and Paul Weller. Jack Savoretti, supported by Natalie Imbruglia, was abandoned due to thunderstorms.
More than two million people have attended a Forest Live concert at six sites in the 23 years since they started. Money raised from the Forest Live concerts is ploughed back into maintaining the sites.
Anne-Marie will also perform at Ludlow Castle on July 28.
