So, now we know.

Some questions:
What will a Big Chill ticket cost? (est. like, 10, 100, 150, 200 pounds...)
Will they sell out in 2 days?
Did you know i moved to Utrecht a few days ago?

YES! This was the news I was hoping for! The name of the pic on the front page was a big clue but I didnt want to get my hopes up! So one thing - does this mean they are reforming just for Big Chill or for the foreseeable future?! Some new material will make my year...

According to the BC chat zone tickets will be going on sale on the first of december. Now I have just got to persuade herself that five days in with the perfidious sassanachs listening to "deadbeat hippy stoner types" (a direct quote btw) is...
1) Not a waste of money and...
2) Will be good for me.

I can see the latter being a little more problematic

Reschedule would be difficult. The reason i'm coming over in September is that it'll be the 1 year anniversary of my Dad's death (he died this September). Thats why i'll be coming over. Not sure if i can wing a month and one week off of work or with the wife.

So like i said earlier...ARGGHHH>

Be great if you could Matt but can see why it would be very difficult. As a Big Chill regular, I can confirm it's not full of Hippy Stoner Types!

Guardian reading, new age hippy stoner types ;) It's where the old Glastonbury hippies take their kids.

Brilliant festival and this is the perfect setup for me after I took this year off for a well earned break from everything. Bouncing back hard at it for the Chill in 2009.

We're gonna need a bigger field ;)

It's been shrinking for years mate ;) We've not had the heart to tell you.

Does this mean a return to the Chill for the one who we could spot across a crowded field just by looking for a dayglo Hawaiian shirt? ;)

Yes, I'll be there. Am planning my outfits now - matching shorts next year!

It will be great to see everyone again, I've a feeling it will be before the BC :)

Yeah, you only 'have anything to do with us' when Orbital are involved don't you Sid :wink:

Not wishing to piss on the fire but I have it on good authority that Orbital will be coming back in a new musical direction.
