Elton John and his band will play a second headlining Eden Session concert next summer due to a huge demand for tickets

After tickets sold out in just a few hours of general sale on Friday, a second concert has now been added for the following evening.

He will now appear on Tuesday 16th June and now Wednesday 17th June. Elton is the first act confirmed for the famous Biomes this year, with multiple evenings returning with popular music to the beautiful surroundings of the Eden Project in Cornwall.

Eden's Marketing Director Rita Broe said, "We've had an amazingly positive response to the news of Elton John returning to play in Cornwall for the first time in 30 years and appearing for the first time at Eden. The demand for tickets for the June 16 Session has been overwhelming.

"We are thrilled to announce that Elton can play a second Session on the following evening. We are certain his fans will be as delighted as we are at the prospect of double the number being able to see him perform. Two magical nights of Elton at Eden coming up!"
