More great names announced for Eastnor 2009!
So, just how do you improve on a line-up that already includes big hitters such as Orbital, Basement Jaxx and Pharoah Sanders? Well, after courting him since last summer, The Big Chill is proud to announce that David Byrne (yes, he of legendary art rock band Talking Heads) will be finishing his tour to support his new album with Brian Eno at this year's festival. Their collaborations go back over 30 years and include some of Talking Head's finest work from 'Once In A Lifetime' to 'Psycho Killer' as well as the brilliant new album 'Everything That Happens Will Happen Today'.
And as if that wasn't enough to get you all hot under the collar, The Big Chill's musical line-up will also include a reunited Lamb, the sonically-charged Spiritualized and the Soma boys, Slam, to get things shaking. Meanwhile, they'll be plenty to get your laughing gear around with comedy highlights including performances from Dylan Moran and Russell Howard.
Here's are the line-up in full so far...remember, there are still more names to come!
