Embrace take to the forests

| 14 December 2005

Following their tradition of playing in unique venues, Embrace have teamed up with the Forestry Commission to play seven massive open-air shows in forest locations across the UK next summer.

Singer Danny McNamara explains: "We've played in some unusual places over the last few years; caves, beaches, even the Big Brother House. But next year we're trying something special even for us. In the past we've done secret gigs in forests giving the fans a map reference so they can find us, but these gigs are on a much bigger scale, they are going to be something else. The new album will be out by then and it gives us a great opportunity to play our new songs in really spectacular settings".

Tickets are priced £23 for all shows and will be sale from 9.00am FRIDAY 16th DECEMBER here.
