Acclaimed singer-songwriters Badly Drawn Boy and Seth Lakeman have been announced for the Biotik Stage at the Eden Sessions.

Badly Drawn Boy, otherwise known as Damon Gough, will be playing the stage in the picturesque Mediterranean Biome on 30 June, before the evening headliner The Flaming Lips take to the main stage. This will be the third time Badly Drawn Boy has played the Eden Sessions, headlining in 2003 and returning in 2005 with Ian Brown.

His debut album The Hour of the Bewilderbeast won the Mercury Music Prize in 2000 and he released his seventh and most recent record It’s What I’m Thinking Pt.1 – Photographing Snowflakes to critical acclaim in October 2010. Badly Drawn Boy is appearing on the Biotik Stage with other acts associated with the charity Manchester Aid to Kosovo, who support recovery in Kosovo by providing opportunities, resources, and developing partnerships. Other artists playing on the day include Liam Frost and The Travelling Band.

Dartmoor folk phenomenon Seth Lakeman will play Biotik on 23 June, before Primal Scream headline the evening on the main stage with their Screamadelica Live show.

Seth has released five solo albums, including 2004’s Mercury-nominated Kitty Jay and last summer’s Hearts and Minds. He has previously collaborated with his brothers Sam and Sean, folk singer (and wife of Sam) Cara Dillon and Steve Knightley from Show of Hands. Seth’s appearance on the Biotik stage is part of a programme of events for the day curated by insect-themed arts festival Pestival.
