Just heard from BC office again, and car park tickets are being sold on a first-come-first serve basis, so if there was a particular carpark you wanted (probably only affects the smaller ones like Red and possibly Green), then good to book early to avoid disappointment!

Line-up has been updated! Copied here from email until they update the website:

Line-Up Announcement

So, just how do you improve on a line-up that already includes big hitters such as Orbital, Basement Jaxx and Pharoah Sanders? Well, after courting him since last summer, The Big Chill is proud to announce that David Byrne (yes, he of legendary art rock band Talking Heads) will be finishing his tour to support his new album with Brian Eno at this year's festival. Their collaborations go back over 30 years and include some of Talking Head's finest work from 'Once In A Lifetime' to 'Psycho Killer' as well as the brilliant new album 'Everything That Happens Will Happen Today'.

And as if that wasn't enough to get you all hot under the collar, The Big Chill's musical line-up will also include a reunited Lamb, the sonically-charged Spiritualized and the Soma boys, Slam, to get things shaking. Meanwhile, they'll be plenty to get your laughing gear around with comedy highlights including performances from Dylan Moran and Russell Howard. But that's not all, because we're thrilled to announce that they'll also be joined on the bill by:

As usual, the fun will begin at Eastnor on the Thursday, so why not book that extra day off and make it long weekend in the countryside, because Thursday night is promising to be every bit as monstrous as the rest of the weekend, when The Big Chill, Warp Films and Film4 set about filming the world's biggest ever zombie scene at this year's festival. More details to come on this as our fiendish plans develop!

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
