Biffy Clyro gig announced at Eden Project

Rock band Biffy Clyro are set to play the Eden Sessions this summer in their first show in Cornwall ahead of their headline set at this year's TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow.

The band, who have released three UK number one albums, have performed headline sets at festivals including Reading, Leeds and the Isle of Wight and their most recent arena tour was in November 2022.

They will be joined at the Eden Sessions by special guests Mercury Prize and two-time Brit Award nominees Nova Twins.

Tickets will go on sale this week for the gig in July.

Rita Broe, Eden Sessions managing director, said: "Biffy are one of the most exciting and celebrated British rock bands of recent years and we can't wait to see them and Nova Twins play against the backdrop of the Eden Project Biomes.

"Biffy always rank highly among bands people would like to see at the Eden Sessions so it's incredibly exciting to be able to bring them to Cornwall for the first time."

Tickets for the show, on Thursday 10 July, will be on sale to Inside Track pass-holders at 10:00 GMT on Tuesday 25 February, with general ticket sales from 15:30 GMT on Thursday 27 February.

Other acts performing in the Eden Sessions this summer include Madness, Texas and KT Tunstall as well as Gary Barlow and Beverley Knight.
