Legendary musician Paul Weller is to perform at Bedgebury Pinetum this summer.

It is one of five open-air gigs he is performing across the UK as part of the Forestry Commission's Forest Live concert programme, following two sold-out Forest Live events last year.

He said: "It's a favourite summer jaunt for me so I look forward to performing in a few of the forests that I haven't played in a good while."

It has been 30 years since Weller first exploded onto the music scene with iconic punk rock band the Jam, before branching out into soul with the Style Council and then going on to enjoy a successful solo career.

The "Modfather" will perform at Bedgebury, near Tunbridge Wells, on Saturday, June 21.

Tickets, priced £46.20, go on sale at 9am on Friday, January 17.

Income from the concerts is spent on improving the woodland for both people and wildlife.
