SISTER SLEDGE will be heading to Raehills just outside Moffat in Dumfries and Galloway as they have been announced as the headliners for this summer’s Eden Festival.
Also included in the first line up announcement for 2023 are ELVANA / GENERAL LEVY / HENGE Eva Lazarus / Huey Morgan (DJ set) / Stanton Warriors / Pongo / Afriquoi
With tunes including ‘We Are Family’, ‘He’s The Greatest Dancer’ and ‘Lost in Music,’ Sister Sledge will be bringing their iconic goodtime Disco grooves, turning the green valley into a Soulful glitterball field of funk. Get ready to count the hits!
With more than a little bit of Rock in their jumpsuit, the Elvis-fronted Nirvana tribute band, Elvana, are all set to Kung-Fu kick some riffs towards the Eden crowd. Selling out venues across the UK, the perfect concoction of The King and Seattle’s Grunge legends will surely lead to random yet never seen before bouts of air guitar by the Great Mountain Stage. The original Fun Lovin’ Criminal and BBC Radio 6 Music DJ himself, Huey Morgan, will also be unpacking his musical bag of DJ tricks, so expect all flavours of everything to get your feet moving with the best dressed man onsite on the decks.
Also confirmed for Eden Festival 2023 are General Levy, Stanton Warriors, Pongo, and Afriquoi. Dance, Reggae, World music, DJs, and that’s just the start, including a yet to be announced welcoming Thursday night on the Boardwalk stage, and Scotland’s greatest festival-pub venue, the infamous Rabbies Tavern.
Set within the inviting family-friendly vale of Raehills Meadows in Dumfriesshire while retaining its capacity of 5000, this 10 staged festival has over 200 acts performing, covering all musical bases from World to Funk, Classical to Jungle, Acoustic to Dancehall and everything in between.
An Eden Festival spokesperson:
“Eden could expand, however we feel that by listening to our audience and keeping it at the same capacity, it makes for a far better experience, plus, we’ve got a wide array of fantastic musical acts confirmed that’ll make our regulars and anyone new to Eden, very happy indeed. It was great to be back last year, but as ever, we’re moving forward, and 2023 is looking like our best year yet.”
