Thousands of revellers flocked to Cannock Chase as pop superstar Anne-Marie kicked off Forest Live festival with a night to remember. Anne-Marie thrilled a stunning concert venue right in the heart of Cannock Chase ’s beautiful wilderness. Swathes of fans, including many young children soaking up their first concert experience, enjoyed a magical opening to the three-day Forest Live extravaganza that also brings The Charlatans, Johnny Marr and Olly Murs to headline over the next two nights.
This was a true family affair , though. Anne-Marie’s list of smash hits, so familiar from radio, seemed endless as she belted out, among many others, ‘Alarm’, ‘2002’, ‘Ciao Adios’ and ‘Rockabye’. It was a bitterly cold evening as the recent heatwave subsided on Thursday night, but the singer’s 90-minute set from 9pm flew by.
