It Must Be Love: Madness Returns to the Eden Project Next July

Madness to Take the Stage on July 12th, 2025

The Eden Sessions have announced the return of legendary British band Madness, who will perform on Saturday, 12th July 2025. This marks the second time the group will bring their energetic performance to the iconic Biomes, having played a sold-out show at the venue in 2017.

Madness, one of the UK’s most successful pop acts, are renowned for hits such as One Step Beyond, My Girl, and Baggy Trousers. Their 1982 chart-topper House of Fun remains a standout in their impressive catalogue of 15 UK top-ten singles.

New Music and Self-Produced Success

The announcement follows the band’s recent achievements, including the release of their twelfth studio album, Theatre of the Absurd Presents C’est la Vie, in November 2023. The album, their first in seven years, became Madness’s first-ever UK number-one studio album.

Notably, this latest record was self-produced by the band in collaboration with engineer and mixer Matt Galsbey, known for his work with Ed Sheeran, Maisie Peters, and Rag’N’Bone Man.

Tickets and Supporting Acts

Tickets for the performance are priced at £56 plus a £7.30 booking fee. They are available now for Inside Track pass-holders, with the general sale starting at 2:30pm on Wednesday, 4th December 2024, via edensessions.com.

Rita Broe, managing director of the Eden Sessions, expressed excitement about Madness’s return:
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Madness back to the Eden Sessions next summer. Their last show here in 2017 was a huge success and a fantastic night of entertainment, and we can’t wait to see what the band have in store for us this time around.

“So, dust off those Baggy Trousers and prepare for a fabulous night of music and showmanship from one of Britain’s most iconic pop acts.”

A Packed Summer Line-Up

Madness joins an exciting line-up of artists already announced for the 2025 Eden Sessions, including Gary Barlow on 18th June and The Script on 25th June. More performers are expected to be revealed in the coming months.

The Eden Sessions, now run by Eden Sessions Ltd—a collaboration between the Eden Project and global live events company AEG Presents—continues to bring world-class acts to Cornwall, making it a highlight of the summer music calendar.
