Each Eden Session is a mini festival over the course of a day. Look beyond the headline acts and you’ll find a whole smorgasbord of guest artists catering for musical tastes across the board.
Come early and bask in the glory of a summer’s afternoon at the Eden Project. You’ll be able to sample a crop of the best new bands – some from the South West, some from further afield – and get amped for the headline act in the evening. There might also be a few surprises. In the past, major labels have used the Sessions to test out their hottest new artists in front of a festival crowd.
Bi-ot'ik StageThe Bi-ot'ik Stage will entertain throughout the Eden Sessions this year, giving an organic twist to the day's festival events. You’ll see a range of world-class musicians, comedians, and spoken word and performance poets. Check out the previous line-ups to get a flavour of what the Stage is all about:
2010
The acts for 2011 are yet to be confirmed, but in previous years we’ve had everything from indie bands and folk singers to beatboxing and a reggae
soundsystem across three stages, including one in the beautiful surroundings
of the Mediterranean Biome!
The Bi-ot'ik Stage is hosted by Eden Project and Cape Farewell, a creative project that brings artists, scientists and communicators together to engage people in the subject of climate change. Find out more on the Eden Project website.
