Want to See Mika Live in Cornwall This Summer?

Global pop star Mika has been announced as the latest act to join this year’s Eden Sessions, returning to the Eden Project stage on Sunday, 12th July 2026.

A return to the Eden Sessions stage

The Beirut-born, London-based singer-songwriter first rose to international fame in 2007 with his debut single Grace Kelly, which reached number one in several countries, including the UK.

His debut album Life in Cartoon Motion (2007) went on to sell more than eight million copies worldwide, topping charts across Europe and establishing Mika as one of pop music’s most distinctive voices.

This summer’s show marks Mika’s return to Cornwall, having previously performed at the Eden Sessions in 2010. His catalogue includes hits such as Love Today, Relax, Take It Easy and We Are Golden, with his flamboyant style and genre-defying sound earning him a devoted global following.

New album and career highlights

The announcement follows the release of Mika’s new album Hyperlove, his first English-language studio album since My Name is Michael Holbrook in 2019. The album was produced with Nick Littlemore of Empire of the Sun and Pnau and signals a new chapter in a career spanning nearly two decades.

Mika has received widespread recognition throughout his career. In 2008, he won British Breakthrough Act at the BRIT Awards and received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance Recording for Love Today. His accolades also include winning BBC Sound of 2007, three major honours at the World Music Awards in 2007, and the Ivor Novello Award for Songwriter of the Year in 2008. More recently, he was nominated for Music Artist at the British LGBT Awards in 2023.
