Big Chill Co-Founder Katrina Larkin said of the announcements, "As soon as we'd finished this year's festival, we took a deep breath and vowed to make 2009 even better. We've already secured a fantastic mix of both legends and a new breed of talent, and are really laying down a marker for what to expect, bring on the summer!"
