THE CHARLATANS ANNOUNCE SPECIAL SUMMER SHOW
One of the UK’s most significant bands, The Charlatans, have announced they will play Cannock Chase Forest, Staffordshire, this summer as part of the Forestry Commission’s 2008 forest tour.
The Charlatans new album, You Cross My Path, is available in its entirety as a FREE download from radio station Xfm’s website www.xfm.co.uk from Monday 3rd of March 2008 and the Charlatans official site www.thecharlatans.net two weeks later on March 17th. The band have also just inked a worldwide distribution deal for the album to be released on CD and vinyl in 33 countries, through Cooking Vinyl, on May 12th.
The Forestry Commission is committed to taking woodlands to new audiences, and making them relevant to people in new ways. The forest tour is self-sustaining, paying for itself, and providing valuable revenue to plough back into the woodland in a variety of environmental and social projects.

So if you want to see one of Britains best indie bands performing in what has to be the most fabulous setting, get your tickets for Cannock Chase where the natural acoustics will resonate their music around the forest and create the most magical experience for everyone there.
