Massive Attack have announced two headline shows next year

The Bristolian band play in Cornwall next summer as part of Eden's summer programming

Cornwall’s Eden Sessions has revealed a mammoth Massive Attack weekender next summer, with two exclusive dates confirmed.

The two shows, set to take place on June 15 and 16, will be the band's only outdoor shows in the UK next year and have been designed by Robert Del Naja alongside United Visual Artists.

Eden’s marketing director Rita Broe explained: “Massive Attack have had a huge influence on contemporary music and we think they will deliver two of the most memorable nights in Eden Sessions history.”

On both nights the band will be joined by Mercury Prize-winning trio and Massive Attack collaborators Young Fathers, with the announcement following news of a Björk live date at the venue on June 20.

Tickets for the Massive Attack and Young Fathers Eden Sessions are on sale now on the Eden Sessions website.
