Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro will play a second date at the Eden Project due to "very high demand", organisers have announced.

The band was originally slated to play the Eden Sessions on 9 July but will now perform the following evening as well.

Though they have performed headline sets at Reading and Leeds Festivals, Download Festival, TRNSMT and Isle of Wight Festival, this is the first time they will play the Cornwall event.

Tickets will go on general sale at 15:30 GMT on Monday.

Award-winning Biffy Clyro have had three UK number one albums.

They will be joined on both nights by Mercury Music Prize and two-time BRIT Award nominees Nova Twins.

They were the first black rock band to be shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize in 2022.

Other acts on the bill include Deftones, Madness, Texas and KT Tunstall.

The Eden Sessions started in 2002 when the line-up included Pulp, British Sea Power and Chilly Gonzalez.
