Chart-topping superstar Jessie J is returning to Cheshire following her Chester Rocks triumph last summer.
The pop sensation and judge on BBC TV’s The Voice is the first star to be announced for the 2014 series of outdoor concerts in Delamere Forest next summer.
Forest Live, organised by the Forestry Commission, sees concerts performed in spectacular woodland locations around the country.
There hasn’t been a career in recent memory that has taken off so fast, so spectacularly and so all-consumingly as Jessie J’s.
Highlights have included No 1 singles and two hugely successful albums that headed straight for the top with millions of sales worldwide, show-stopping performances in front of a global audience of billions at the London Olympics, a full-blown Saturday night prime-time TV career, extraordinary acts for charity that hit the headlines, Glastonbury festival and the Diamond Jubilee Concert.
With Jessie’s multi-platinum debut, Who You Are, she achieved the accolade of being the first UK solo artist to have six top-ten hits off one album including two No 1 singles: Price Tag and Domino.
Success continued with the 2013 release of her second power-pop album Alive featuring the hit singles Wild, It's My Party and Thunder alongside a sell-out UK arena tour.
Just before this release, Jessie J topped the bill at the latest Chester Rocks festival at Chester Racecourse.
Jessie J said: “I made my Forest Live debut this summer with just one show which I loved so it’s great to be taking in another four Forest Live dates next year. See you there.”
Jessie J plus guest will be performing on Saturday, July 5.
Forest Live is an independent programme organised by the Forestry Commission bringing music to new audiences without commercial branding or sponsorship. Income from the concerts is spent on improving the woodland for both people and wildlife.
In past years, music fans at Delamere Forest have seens concerts by the likes of Blondie, Paul Weller, Will Young, Plan B, Erasure, Simple Minds, Sugababes and KT Tunstall.
Tickets for Jessie J are priced £42.90 (including £3.90 booking fee). They go on sale at 9am on Thursday, December 19 from the Forestry Commission on 03000 680400 or buy online at www.forestry.gov.uk/music.
