Manic Street Preachers will headline the night of Saturday, 9th July at the 15th annual Eden Sessions held in the surroundings of the Eden Project in Cornwall.

Eden's marketing director Rita Broe said, "We have a fine tradition of rock bands playing the Eden Sessions and Manic Street Preachers are without doubt one of the finest British acts of the past 25 years. They have left an indelible mark on the British music scene and their longevity is testament to their enduring quality."

Manic Street Preachers are the fifth act to be announced for the 2016 Eden Sessions. The others are Lionel Richie (June 14 and 15 – both sold out), Tom Jones (June 26 – sold out), PJ Harvey (June 27) and Jess Glynne (July 14 – sold out).
