The Who release Live at the Eden Project

The Who released Live at the Eden Project on May 29, 2026. The band’s official announcement says the 24-track live album documents the July 25, 2023 concert in Cornwall with the Heart of England Philharmonic Orchestra.
Live album from Cornwall
The Who’s own site says the set arrived as a 2CD digipak, a standard 3LP and a limited recycled-vinyl 3LP edition, plus digital formats. The release also included the first single, Pinball Wizard, which was made available right away on the band’s channels.
That matters because the album is not a routine archive dump. It turns one orchestral night at the Eden Project into a full-length document, with 24 songs spanning Tommy, Who’s Next and later staples.
What the 24 songs show
Among the track list are My Generation, Won’t Get Fooled Again, Behind Blue Eyes, The Kids Are Alright and Baba O’Riley. That sequence places early mod-era material beside the band’s 1970s rock-opera writing and later arena anthems.
For a band that formed in 1964, the release works less like a retrospective and more like a career map. It shows how The Who still frame their catalogue around punchy singles, long-form rock and orchestral scale.
Charts and reach
The release also reached the Official UK Album Chart. Official Charts lists Live at Eden Project in the Top 75, which gives the record a current chart presence beyond the original announcement.
That chart foothold is the clearest current market signal around The Who this week. It also underlines the album’s usefulness for listeners who want a fresh entry point into a classic catalogue rather than another greatest-hits package.
