7 and a bit weeks to go before Eden Festival opens its gates, I’m sure by now you are aware of their headline acts on their main Devorgilla Stage, playing an array of music from the likes of Morcheeba, King Charles, Andreya Triana, Gentlemans Dub Club, Conga Natty and many more…But what’s happening in the other areas? Here’s a sample from the 11 stages you can soak up and enjoy.
| Eden’s new Boardwalk Arena returns for its second year, nestled in the woods across the boardwalk bridge. It features sweet reggae music booming through the awesome bike powered reaction sound system at the foot of the stunning viewpoint, built amongst the bluebells of the Raehills meadow by the mythical Dingle Clan. But to hear it you got dig deep and peddle hard.
Looking under the palm trees is the Ghilli Dhu Dance Emporium, Eden Festival’s largest dance tent, you’ll find some of the finest dance acts blasting out from the vintage bus DJ booth and 10ft uber speaker. A colourful melting pot of everything from Drum ‘n’ Bass to Soca, back to Bassline and Breakbeat and over to Electro and Techno and anything in between – there will be something to suit any dance fan.
Through the winding paths of Eden Festival’s dance arena you will come across The Voltan Psychedelic Temple, Eden’s psychedelic quadrant, hosting an array of Psy Trance artists from around the circuit. Stretch your head back and the see the luminescent projections finely mapped across the stages atmosphere, with spectrums of colour and light bouncing off aerial installations.
Rabbies Tavern will provide an auld Scottish bar to drink the local hooch with live bands playing Celtic, roots, rockabilly, bone shaking blues and anything else that makes you stomp your foot, and hoist yer tankards! They will also host a traditional Scottish Ceilidh each night and some Karaoke. Plus there’s a new addition to the cabin this year with more music and fun and games with the Wee Tim’Rous Stage.
