Coronavirus: Eden Project concerts postponed
BBCA series of concerts due to be held at the Eden Project have been postponed as a result of the coronavirus.
Diana Ross, Lionel Richie, and My Chemical Romance were amongst the artists due to perform in Cornwall this summer.
The Eden Project said performances would be rescheduled and it was "working hard" to ensure the acts were available next year.
Original tickets will remain valid for the future shows, a spokesperson said.
"Organisers have been closely assessing the impacts of the global coronavirus pandemic and decided that to ensure the safety and wellbeing of concert-goers, artists, crews, Eden Sessions staff and supporting teams, the Sessions could not go ahead this year.
"We send our heartfelt thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding while we have worked through these unprecedented times to reach this decision."
The Eden Sessions has been running since 2002, with profits going towards the project's environmental work, and hopes to return in 2021.
