Line-up announcement: The Eden Sessionzzz

by Mike Diver [Edit this content] ▾ 16 comments 13:14 March 30th, 2007

Organisers behind the now annual Eden Sessions series - held, of course, at the Eden Project in Cornwall - have really pushed the boat out this year, booking artists at the very cutting edge of their chosen fields.

Only they haven't, obviously. This is maybe the safest bill we've ever seen. But it's not like they're all crap, so...

July
2 James Morrison (pictured after unfortunate glue-on-hand-on-chin incident)
10 Rufus Wainwright
17 Amy Winehouse
18 Lily Allen
21 Bright Eyes

Yup. Those are some acts alright.

Meh

Only the addition of James Blunt could make that lineup any more Ballsack.

Bright Eyes are fine

but everything else is depressingly MOR.

We are just

The Feeling and James Blunt away from a mass suicide!

Grrrr

I'd heard rumors that Arcade Fire would be doing one, was looking forward to it!

There is still another one to be announced

which will apparently be either Scissor Sisters (yawn) or Pet Shop Boys...bleurgh. I'm going to Bright Eyes and Lily Allen, and very excited about it too! Often, the support acts are really good, and a lot more "cutting edge" than the headliners - eg, Keane were supported by Editors, Ian Brown by Lady Sov...I reckon the supports will be as good, if not better.

I would have gone...

if it was The Arcade Fire but that line up is just totally dull and not worth leaving the house for.

i have fancied her for over a year.

yep...

Everyone's hoping it will be Arcade Fire but honestly, is there a free day in their schedule for the rest of this year??

Not SO bad

Given Keane played last year I'm not that upset - they could have subjected us to the same again! Bright eyes will be damn good (hopefully) and happy to watch a bit of Rufus. Not excited about lily Allen or the Winehouse though - all those tattoos don't scare me, i could have either of them in a fight...
