David Byrne To Headline Big Chill Festival

March 31, 2009
David Byrne To Headline Big Chill FestivalDavid Byrne will close this year's Big Chill festival in Herefordshire, organisers have announced.

The singer joins previously reported headliners Basement Jaxx and Orbital at the event, which runs from August 7th-9th.

Big Chill Co-Founder Katrina Larkin said the festival was “absolutely delighted” to add Byrne to this year's line up.

"Even though he is an absolute personal favourite, it’s no understatement to say that David Byrne is one of the most iconic names in music," she added.

Other new additions to this year's festival include Spiritualized, Dub Syndicate and Lamb.
