Event Previews

Travis are to play at Sherwood Pines Forest Park near Clipstone, Nottinghamshire, on Saturday 30 June 2007.

They are to be supported by The Hours.

Organisers anticipate a sell-out 5,000 crowd in the 3,000 acre beauty spot, near Edwinstowe.

Summer gigs in the Forest began in 2001. Since then the venue has played host to the Beautiful South, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Motorhead and Level 42.

The Hours

The gig will be supporting the Forestry Commission's social and environmental programmes with money raised being used to care for woodlands in the East Midlands.
