Embrace have announced that they are to play a fistful of woodland gigs in association with the Forestry Commission this summer. Frontman Danny McNamara says: "We've played in some unusual places over the last few years; caves, beaches, even the Big Brother house. But next year we're trying something special even for us. In the past we've done secret gigs in forests giving the fans a map reference so they can find us, but these gigs are on a much bigger scale, they are going to be something else. The new album will be out by then and it gives us a great opportunity to play our new songs in really spectacular settings."
