Oasis in Cornwall

One of the biggest UK bands of all time will be launching their latest tour with an outdoor concert here in Cornwall. Oasis will be performing at the Eden Project in St Austell on Saturday 27 September 2008. Read on for the essential information.

The Eden Project has played host to many great acts over the years including the Kaiser Chiefs, Pulp, Mark Ronson, Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse.

Now the attraction is putting on probably the biggest concert to be seen in Cornwall for many years.

Oasis play Eden in September

The original Brit-Pop kings Oasis will be using Cornwall as the curtain raiser for their latest sell out tour. The St Austell gig is a late addition and tickets are likely to sell out very quickly.

It will be the first time that Oasis have performed live in Cornwall, but the band are no strangers to the county, having recorded tracks the famous Sawmills studios near Fowey.

Tickets for this event will not be available through the usual outlets. Instead applicants will have to register online at the official Oasis website to go into a draw for the chance to purchase up to two tickets for this concert.

Registration opens at midday Friday August 29 until midday Friday September 5.

Oasis last played the UK in February 2006. The Cornish gig will be filmed for global broadcast by MTV.
