The Big Chill festival have announced the first batch of acts that will play their festival later in the year. It's good. It's very, very good. It includes UK festival exclusive appearances from Rodrigo Y Gabriela and, excitingly, Kanye West. How's about that, eh? Anyway, the rest of the acts who will play are listed below in that big block of text.

They've even made a video for this very day, too.
