A BOYBAND who rose to fame on The X Factor and became one of the UK’s favourite bands has been announced as the second act for the 2024 Eden Sessions.

Multi-award-winning boyband JLS will perform at the Eden Project on Saturday, July 13, 2024, following the release of their 2021 comeback album 2.0, the first JLS record since 2013’s Goodbye – The Greatest Hits.

The London-based four-piece, consisting of  Oritsé Williams, Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold and JB Gill are known for their ‘rich, harmonious vocals and slick dance moves.

The band appeared on the X Factor in 2018 and became increasingly popular with audiences across the UK despite being named runner-up to Alexandra Burke.

Following their time on the talent show, JLS reached the top of the charts with five number-one singles, including the enduring dance floor classic ‘Beat Again’ and the ballad ‘Everybody in Love’.

They have sold more than six million records and more than 1.4 million live tickets. The JLS live experience is so in demand they have played London’s 02 Arena more than 20 times.
