Richard Ashcroft at Bowery Ballroom, NYC (Paul Bachmann for Live4ever)
Richard Ashcroft will be supported by Tom Meighan and Apollo Junction.
Richard Ashcroft is the latest artist to be confirmed for the Forest Live concert series in 2026 and will play Westonbirt Arboretum on Sunday, June 28th.
There’s plenty of big UK shows coming up next year for the Verve frontman following a successful 2025 which has taken in a high profile spot supporting Oasis’ Live 25 world tour and the release of his new solo album Lovin’ You.
“Come to think of it, isn’t one definition of freedom doing whatever you want to do provided that it doesn’t cause harm to anyone else?,” Live4ever’s review opens.
“Rock stars (and Richard Ashcroft is one of those, however you define the term) aren’t really allowed that luxury.”
“Forever young by necessity, your average rock star is supposed to never be satisfied with themselves, to declare instead publicly changed courses, personalities and artistic visions every time a new one of their records comes out.”
Healthy for the mind or body? No. But as the former Verve frontman took to the stage supporting Oasis on their victory lap this summer, he was afforded a glimpse of the kind of devotional fandom he and his former band gave up after their post-Urban Hymns dissolution.
