Eden Festival - A Photo Diary

This Scottish festival is the perfect reminder of what music festivals could, and should, be about.

Hidden away in the hills of Dumfries, Scotland, Eden Festival flies under the radar of most avid summer festival goers. A family festival marked as much by community and freedom of spirit as it is reggae, dub, jungle and good vibes, Eden promises not 5000 attendees the spirit of summer served cool. Or, this year, served with a healthy dosage of rain, mud, and swamp conditions.

Still Listening attended, camera at the ready, to document the authentic experience of dancing under the trees, not a care in the world, so often lost from glamorised and commercialised festivals these days with prices skyrocketing. Instead, peruse the below pictures to find a story of music, joy, laughter, made by all and meant for all, emerging.
