Sparks have been announced as headliners for the Big Chill festival, and are expected to perform their current album in its entirety, plus other material from throughout their long career. The band's Russell Mael said: "Playing a festival will be a new experience for us but it is one we are looking forward to. It will be great to put on our show in this outdoor location and for an audience who may not have seen us play before."
Other acts set to appear at the event include JCB-lovers Nizlopi and Malian duo Amadou And Mariam. It all takes place at Eastnor Castle Deer Park Herefordshire from 4-6 August. I would go, but I think I might be a bit busy just then.
