Music Festival News

The Big chill is another one of those festivals that generally goes under the radar, In recent years it has started to be more recognised and spoken about. Ive always known about and heard of The Big Chill but ive never been or really paid much notice.  This year the festival has a really good lineup! Basement Jaxx an Orbital would be enough to get me there regardless of who else was playing, The only raised eye brow about this lineup is ‘Alphabeat (Dj Set) im not 100% sure if its the cheesy Alphabeat but im sure it would be good for a laugh even if it was.
