Dumfries and Galloway’s Eden Festival has reveled its headliners for 2025, plus a glorious selection of artists, musicians, and DJs also on the line-up… with more to follow.
London two-piece Bob Vylan embrace their DIY roots while fusing Grime, the rush of Punk, Alt-Rap and Rock. Peerless and fearless, with big spiky tunes and the attitude of Bad Brains, their 3rd album released in 2024, Humble As The Sun was hailed as “electrifying, experimental and empowering” by NME. See you down the front.
A cornerstone of Detroit Hip-Hop, legendary Rappers Slum Village have continued to enthral crowds all over the world by staying true to their groundbreaking ethos of collaboration and innovation, producing ground-breaking albums such as Trinity, F.U.N and Villa Manifesto. Eden will be swaying to some big beats & bigger rhymes well into the night.
There’s lauded names in UK Electronic music, and then there’s Neil Barnes. Since the early 90’s, Neil has been blowing minds (and speakers) as Leftfield… and also with his renowned record box. Eden is more than ready to experience an iconic Leftfield DJ Set from a true Dance music master.
Elsewhere on the line-up and heading for the green of The Garden, Eden goers can also expect to see: Orchestra Baobab, Beluga Lagoon, Talisk, Fabio & Grooverider, Mungo’s Hi Fi ft. Eva Lazarus, The Bluebells, and Tom McGuire & The Brassholes.
