The Courteeners have announced details of a one-off gig at Delamere Forest in Cheshire next year.

The band will perform at the outdoor location on July 2 as part of Forestry Commission Live Music 2011.

Liam Fray for The Courteeners said, "It will be amazing to leave the poison of the city and venture into Delamere’s leafy empire.

"For one special night, The Courteeners go country.”

Tickets go on sale on Friday (December 17) at 9am.
