- This year's festival in Herefordshire als features Flying Lotus, Four Tet, Scuba, Hercules & Love Affair and many others.
- This year's Big Chill Festival will take place on August 4th in Herefordshire. As in years past, the lineup runs the full gamut from pop through indie and right into underground club music. Kanye West, Katy B and The Chemical Brothers share the top of the bill, while more esoteric acts include Scuba, Luke Vibert, Four Tet, Flying Lotus and Fantastic Mr Fox. 2 Many DJs and Calvin Harris will no doubt keep the party rocking, while on the other side of the spectrum, '90s ambient duo Global Communication will DJ (no surprise there, as group member Tom Middleton has played every edition in the festival's 17-year history, and curated one of this year's stages). As for guitar-wielding types, former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant will perform with his Band of Joy, and indie favorites like Warpaint, Metronomy and Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti will take the stage as well. Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriela nab one of the event's headlining spots. The Big Chill will take place once again at Eastnore Castle.
