The first acts for the line-up for Big Session will be announced in February, that's a bit later than it is normally announced. Lead artistic booker, and festival co-founder Rob Challice spoke exclusively to eFestivals where he explained, "I didn't want to go out and book headliners when we didn't have the budget confirmed, we didn't know what budget we were working with. We have now made offers to a whole handful of acts for the Big Session."

"I've been in contact with the people who represent these acts for the last few weeks, those people are quite patient, and have waited for the offer. Big Session, myself, and the people involved who represent these bands do have this relationship which goes back several years. We've just told them that an offer is pending, and that's usually enough."
