Tom Middleton will be performing on the Deer Park Stage, as well as heading up his own stage this year.

Tom Middleton commented, "Fantastic to still be involved in The Big Chill! To have witnessed its growth and evolution from a humble 500 folk in a field to hosting 10's of thousands of 'Chillers' at the glorious Eastnor Castle. And heart warming to see Festival Republic's clear investment in preserving and expanding upon the original spirit of The Big Chill. The truly eclectic and entertaining line-ups of classic artists and DJ's to suit all tastes playing alongside the hottest new talent, with inspiring art installations, genuinely family friendly areas, the ultra chilled holistic therapies, and endless stalls punting a vast choice of 'mouthgasmic' global gastronomy. I'm looking forward to Djing and also curating a tastemaker space stacked with Function-One over the 3 nights showcasing the sickest underground emotive electronic and bass music Artists and DJ's on the scene."

Also confirmed for the Deer Park Stage are Here We Go Magic who will perform on Friday. NZShapeShifter are confirmed for The Revellers' Stage on Saturday, and Taylor McFerrin will play on The People's Ear Stage on Sunday.
