Festival Line-up Keeps Growing!
More great names who you'll be seeing on the stages and in the bars at The Big Chill this summer...The Heritage Orchestra with very special guest Deodato. An amazing 45 piece band with a forthcoming album on Gilles Peterson's new Brownswood label will be playing their first UK festival set. Sure to provide an astonishing finale on the Sunday night.
What could be more suitable for the rolling green Malvern hills than Scritti Politti, whose latest album has attracted great reviews, reinvigorating a decade-spanning career, will be making a first-time appearance in the Eastnor sunshine.
Future World Funk will bring their latest compilation of Balkan Beats to life with a DJ set of the best in dance music from the Balkans.
The Village Green hosts yet more top drawer folk music, with Rodrigo y Gabriela, Martha Wainwright, and master guitarist Adrian Legg adding to its rootsy vibe.
Praise Be! The Persuasions, an uplifting, life-affirming, five-piece a capella vocal group will be singing their way through gospel with a twist. Their last album consisted of U2 covers and the album before that was Frank Zappa covers. Quite unlike anything we've ever booked before.
John Metcalfe's string-based instrumental music will be a treat for the Sanctuary stage audience.
Infant Joy - Paul Morley's latest group, will bring their cover of Japan's 'Ghosts' and a wealth of new material to the festival.
A brand new act - The Shadow Orchestra - have wowed Pete Lawrence with their combination of electronics and subtle acoustic intrumentation. A superb festival debut.
Sometime Jedi, Mark Pritchard loves The Big Chill so much he's coming all the way from his new home in Australia, and The Big Chill loves him, so it's great that he's making the journey to spin his way through another classic set.
On the DJ front, DJ Format, and The Freelance Hellraiser will grace the decks with their turntablism, while Dave Hill will be spinning a gospel set.
Finally, Big Chill stalwarts Bent will be performing live at the festival.
