The Big Chill at Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire, which takes place from Friday 4th until Sunday 6th August has invited Lost Vagueness to host its Chapel of Love and Loathe at this years festival.

A 40 metre round top tent will be transformed into a travelling church, complete with changing rooms, a graveyard and a crypt. The chapel will be open all night (one of the only all night venues onsite).

With no Glastonbury this year this is Lost Vagueness first festival appearance this summer.

The order of service, from 12pm daily, will see the Chapel hosting pay-as-you-vow weddings. Heavenly nuns and twisted vicars will tie brides and grooms in knots with all the pomp and ceremony they can muster. On Sunday at 3pm there will be a mass wedding for any potential bigamists.

At the 8pm call to prayer, the Chapel compére, along with nuns indoctrinated into the Church of Lost Vagueness, will host what Lost Vagueness are calling a night of thrills, spills and unexpected delights - presenting cabaret that combines music, spectacle, gore and glamour. The Chapels house band, The Fat 45s, will be opening each evening.

The line-up for Fridays Lost Souls themed evening includes The Priscillas, Rudy La Croux and the All Stars, The Fruitellas, Kid Carpet, and MrTed.

Saturdays 'Heavenly Creatures' will feature The Roxycoco boudoir show, Think, Polly Cup Cake, Fi Fi, the contortionist, and Empress Stah, performing her signature show Swinging From the Chandelier.

Leila Jones, co-producer of Lost Vagueness, comments: "We were fearing a summer stuck in Hackney on our own, so we jumped at the chance to come to the Big Chill. Shocking, thrilling, mesmerising and never predictable, this will bring some Lost Vagueness carnage to a very chilled out field."

Acts confirmed to play at the Big Chill across the weekend include Sparks, Amadou & Mariam, Bellowhead, Francois K, Glenn Tilbrook & the Fluffers, The Heritage Orchestra with very special guest Deodato, José Gonzalez, Scritti Politti, Louise Rhodes, Martin Carthy, Nizlopi, Norman Jay, Shri (live), The Egg, The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain, Vashti Bunyan, Lily Allen, X-Press 2, and many more - click here for full details to date.
