Mod hero Paul Weller has announced a string of UK dates as part of the Forestry Commision's Forest Live concert series. Dates and ticket details are below. 

The former frontman of The Jam turned solo giant has revealed details of five woodland gigs across the nation, following on from the success of the two Forest Live gigs that he performed last year. 

"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," said Weller of the upcoming shows.

A spokesman from the Forestry Commission added: "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."

The full list of dates is as follows:
Saturday 14 June: Sherwood Pines Forest, Edwinstowe, Nr Mansfield, Notts.
Saturday 21 June: Bedgebury Pinetum & Forest, Nr Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
