The Big Chill Line-up

The acts are in and the temperature has been turned to 'Chill' mode. It's the festival for the people who like to kick back and embrace the coma within.

We'd say Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Great Malvern, Herefordshire is set to rock during August but it's not. It's going to be chilled out beyond belief - and that's music to our stressed out ears.
The Big Chill is a celebration of music, art, digital media, comedy and theatre (and there's a hell of a lot of food and drink to assist the chilling vibes). Can't wait... and that's no lie. Here's what some of the big guns have to say:

“The most laid-back festival of the summer returns with its strongest bill ever”. Q

“The Big Chill is never what it seems and offers the widest range of fantastic music this side of Glastonbury”.

“Big Chill is definitely a strong contender for your essential festival list 2007”. iDJ

“ ..The Big Chill is the polar opposite of the usual festival fare.” Prepare to have your perceptions altered”. Clash

“A sort of mini-Glastonbury …” Songlines

“The vibe at The Big Chill is friendlier than a dog on E.” DJ

Not sure how they know how a dog on E behaves... and we're not sure we want to either. Either way, August 3 - 5th is in the diary.
