Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers who has achieved immense success as a solo artist, will headline the Eden Sessions on 12 July.
His debut solo album, Flamingo, was released in September 2010 and charted at number one in the UK, giving Flowers a fourth successive chart-topping studio album, following The Killers releases Hot Fuss (2004), Sam’s Town (2006) and Day And Age (2008).
Flamingo spawned the top 10 single Crossfire and saw Flowers nominated as Best Male Solo Artist at last year’s Q Awards. A UK headline tour following the release of the album sold out in minutes.

Mystery JetsLondon indie quintet Mystery Jets, founded by father and son Henry and Blaine Harrison, come to Eden following last year’s release of their third studio album Serotonin, which built on the success of their previous releases Making Dens and Twenty-One.
There's a great retro look to this video for the Jets' 2010 single.
This is the video for the band's latest single, released in March 2011.
CrownsThis Cornish band have been described as "the antidote to the now ubiquitous ‘nu-folk’ scene". Their set-list pitches traditional Cornish folk songs that were picked up (and punked-up) in local pubs against a backbone of original tunes.
Each Eden Session is a mini festival over the course of a day. Check out what the other two stages have to offer in the daytime:
