New additions also include composer/pianist Ludovico Einaudi, lo-fi and ambient electronica Arizonian folksters Calexico, club-land hedonists Horse Meat Disco, and jazz legend Pharoah Sanders.
The announcement is completed with other names also confirmed for next year including the Favela Chic Soundsystem, the solo singer from Quantic Soul Orchestra Alice Russell, comedian John Hegley, and On U Sound records' Summer of Dub.
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!"
The Big Chill offers both families and ravers a diverse range of music including folk, jazz, African, dub, and unique collaborations; as well as art, films, poetry, cabaret, kids spaces, comedy, and literature.
Big Chill is promising even more fields next year, meaning more campsites, car parks and better facilities too. The new car park layout promises shorter walks from car to campsites.
