Sting will be accompanied by long-time collaborator virtuoso guitarist Dominic Miller and dynamic drummer Chris Maas (Mumford & Sons), the band will perform all the hits from a truly timeless discography. Known for his groundbreaking work as a solo artist and as the frontman of the seminal group The Police, Sting is a true musical innovator.
This show announcement follows the launch of his ‘STING 3.0’ World Tour, representing a new dynamic era showcasing the musical legend’s vast back catalogue through the urgent lens of a three-piece combo and inspired by Sting’s latest song, ‘I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)’.
Globally acclaimed Irish pop-rockers The Script will be lighting up Westonbirt Arboretum with support from Scottish singer-songwriter Tom Walker. The band have over 10 billion streams, two platinum US singles, six UK Number One albums, and a unique gift for writing emotional numbers with big melodies.
Following the sad loss of founding member Mark Sheehan in 2023, the band vowed to honour him by continuing the tight-knit community they had built together. This unique show will thrill fans with selections from The Script’s much-loved roster of tracks, including ‘Hall Of Fame’, ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’ and ‘Breakeven’.
These shows are arranged by Forestry England who manage and care for the UK’s 1,500 woods and forests. The money from Forest Live is used to maintain these beautiful natural areas, run important conservation projects and keep growing trees – last year they planted 7.4 million trees and welcomed 285 million visits in 2023/24.
Sting will play Westonbirt Arboretum as part of Forest Live on Wednesday 18 June 2025, with The Script playing on Sunday 22 June 2025.
Sting tickets will be on sale from 9 AM on Friday 27 September 2024 with The Script tickets on sale from 10 AM on Saturday 28 September – tickets can be found HERE.
