Classically trained tenor Alfie Boe is the latest act to announce a date at Thetford Forest this summer.

He has held sell-out concerts and released two top-ten platinum selling albums in the last year and performed in shows including Les Mis�rables in London's west end and La Boh�me on Broadway.

His forest debut on July 13, as part of the Forestry Commission Live Music series, will see him perform from his current albums as well as a classical and proms repertoire.

Mr Boe said: 'It is going to be a real privilege to perform at such prestigious outdoor venues with beautiful trees as backdrops.'

Other acts confirmed at Thetford Forest this year are Plan B on June 15, Will Young on June 16, Ed Sheeran on July 12 (sold out) and The Darkness on July 14.

Tickets for Alfie Boe will be priced at �35.50 (subject to booking fee) and go on sale at 9am on January 20 from the Forestry Commission box office.
