Vampire Weekend will open this year’s Eden Sessions at the Eden Project in Cornwall.

The US group, who also played the event two years ago, will be joined by Broken Bells at the gig on June 24.

Tjarko Wieringa, Eden Sessions Creative Director, said he was “thrilled” that Vampire Weekend had agreed to return.

They will preceed previously announced headliners, Jack Johnson (June 26), Mika (27), Doves (July 2), Calvin Harris (3) and Paolo Nutini (13).

Tickets for Vampire Weekend's gig go on sale on Tuesday (April 27) at 6pm.
