After headlining Latitude Festival in 2025, Snow Patrol will be playing Thetford Forest on Saturday 20th June. Gary Lightbody, singer with Snow Patrol is happy to be returning to the forests: “We’re really looking forward to playing Thetford Forest next summer. Our first show in Norfolk for a long time. We’ve heard Thetford Forest is a beautiful place. It’s going to be a great day out.”
UB40 feat Ali Campbell will be taking the stage at High Lodge on Sunday 21st June. UB40 is a seminal reggae pop band from Birmingham, originally formed by a group of friends from diverse ethnic backgrounds. From the beginning, the band became known for its socially aware lyrics and laid-back reggae rhythms. With Campbell’s unmistakable voice leading the way, UB40 blended reggae, dub, and pop into a sound that helped bring the genre into the mainstream.
