Big Chill started as a set of parties thrown in Islington’s famed Union Chapel in the early 90s. Since then, it’s moved to bigger pastures, and in 1995 it became the UK’s go-to festival for ambient and chilled out dance music. This year, the festival appears to be widening it’s audience; still offering a chilled vibe, but opening the festival up to a greater range of musical genre. The Chemical Brothers, Kanye West and incredible Mexican guitar duo: Rodrigo y Gabriela, are set to headline the festival across 3 days, and they’ll be joined by a highly versatile lineup of EDM artists, world musicians and comics, it’s set to be an awesome weekend.

U got the Hideout festival but check out Zrce on the island of Pag in Croatia… cant go wrong
I made many European festivals and a road trip through Europe in 2009 took me in Hungary and to Sziget festival.
It was amazing! The festival is in the heart of Budapest on an island on the middle of river Danube, creating a special atmosphere with the unique mixture of party, city and nature.
It is the longest festival, 7 days of music, cultural programs and exhibitions. But it is also the largest with 400,000 persons from everywhere in the world and the most diverse line up, you will find what you like in every hour of the day on one of the 30 stages of the Island.
You add a huge Party Arena and some parties places with several DJs 24h/7, cheap drinks and food.
I finished this experience in one of the bath of the city on Monday afternoon after few days without sleeping.
A week of madness, i didn’t believe what I was living!
Live it, you will enjoy it!
If you want to have an idea, watch that! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llt-rK7Qbmo
Cheers for the heads up, it’s now been added

Thanks for sharing – Sziget sounds awesome. Keep those festival tales coming!
