Eden Sessions 2011

Thursday 23rd June to Tuesday 12th July 2011
Eden Project, Bodelva, St Austell, Cornwall, PL24 2SG, England MAP
£37.50

Isle of Wight indie rockers The Bees have been added to the Fleet Foxes and Villagers bill for Cornwall's Eden Sessions.

The Bees come to Eden on Friday 1st July following last year's release of their fourth studio album 'Every Step's A Yes'. They blend psychedelic and country influences with guitar-based indie rock.

Their first record 'Sunshine Hit Me' was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and the follow-ups 'Free the Bees' and 'Octopus' both made the top 30 in the UK album charts. 'Free The Bees' featured the band's most successful single to date, 'Chicken Payback'.

This year's Eden Sessions will feel more like a one-day festival than ever before, with three stages featuring some of the best up-and-coming acts playing from early afternoon on each day as well as world-famous headliners.

The other dates are Primal Scream and The Horrors (June 23), Pendulum (June 25), The Flaming Lips, The Go! Team and OK Go (June 30) and Brandon Flowers and Mystery Jets (July 12).


Tickets are priced at £37.50 for each session. Every Sessions ticket includes entry to Eden on the day of the show or the day after. To buy tickets for for the other Sessions, click here.

The Eden Sessions are now in their tenth year. The Sessions are famed not only for bringing top acts to Cornwall but also for their festival feel, with extra bands and entertainers playing around the site in the run-up to the main event.
