The Vamps are the latest act announced for Forest Live, the summer music series organised by the Forestry Commission, their special guests have yet to be confirmed.

The Vamps formed when the band members found one another via their respective YouTube channels. Subsequently they amassed a serious online following through social media with the upload of a series of punkish, acoustic-driven covers of chart-conquering pop hits. They’ve now had 230 million total YouTube and Vevo views as well as sold out arena tours.
