Erasure announces Thetford Forest gig date
Synth-pop pioneers Erasure have become the second headline act to confirm their place in the Forestry Commission's summer music line-up at Thetford Forest.
The award-winning duo of keyboardist Vince Clarke and singer Andy Bell will play on Friday June 10 as part of their Total Pop! Tour.
The band had a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s including A Little Respect, Sometimes and Blue Savannah.
After a four-year break from recording and live performance, the tour will coincide with the release of Erasure's new album, planned for release in summer 2011.
Frontman Andy Bell said: 'This wonderful opportunity to perform for the fans in such a unique backdrop feels like just the right way to jump back in to Erasure after a four-year break. We're excited to be playing in the woods and really hope it doesn't rain.'
