Blondie are to play at Westonbirt Arboretum in June.

The band will be at the arboretum on June 20 as part of the Forestry Commission's series of woodland gigs.

One of the most significant bands of the popular music era, Blondie emerged from New York’s celebrated new wave scene producing innovative music and scoring major hits worldwide with rock/disco, reggae and hip-hop songs. Fronted by the iconic Debbie Harry, their groundbreaking material brought them a stash of hit singles including Denis, Picture This, Rapture, Sunday Girl and Hanging On The Telephone.

Few acts can match their 20 year span of No 1 hits that includes Heart Of Glass, Atomic, Call Me, The Tide Is High and Maria.

Classic recordings like Plastic Letters, Parallel Lines and Eat to The Beat have contributed to their 40 million + album sales to date.

Blondie will release a new album, their first in six years, this spring.

Tickets, which cost £33(subject to booking fee), go on sale at 9am on Friday from the Forestry Commission box office tel 01842 814612 or via the link below.
