What a way to kick it off.

Melbourne Zoo's annual summer concert series, Zoo Twilights, is confirmed to make its return in 2018 and it just announced a huge international act to kick it off in Ben Folds.

The revered US artist will make his highly-anticipated return to Melbourne with an all-ages concert under the stars on Friday, 16 February, where he will be supported by UK songwriter, Lucy Rose.

The appearance comes in support of Folds' 2018 Paper Aeroplane Request tour of the country, which kicks off in Brisbane. Folds has also today announced a second and final Brisbane gig to the run.
