Cheers WB...I wont be going in fancy dress that's for sure. Looking forward to it...Just seen they have punk karaoke where you sing a punk anthem backed up by a proper band.

If you hear anyone yelping White Riot by The Clash, come and stop me.

I know a lot of people cuss BC down as a festy for middle-aged Guardian-reading Starbucks-drinking tosspots wearing Crocs and pushing their silly-named kid round in a £500 all-terrain pushchair...

frankly tho that's bollocks. Yes there are a fair few peeps like that, but so what?? There's plenty of people who I don't really care for at every festival - you just avoid them and get on with enjoying the music & sunshine in a nice setting with good mates...

Security - never had a problem, I've seen people getting away with pretty much anything there. Although a coupla years back a mate of mine was turfed out at 3am on the first nite for selling nitrous balloons - he had no £££ and had to hitch back to Bristol.

Quick tip: I recommend parking in the 'quiet campsite' car park - much much quicker leaving on Monday morning.

See you all down the front for every bit of dubstep - I'll be wearing a Tectonic/Punch Drunk/Skull Disco T-shirt.

I'll be the one convincing the girls that I'm staying put for just one last song until eventually I'm left skanking my own.

Yup, i'm gonna be there. My first Big Chill and by the looks the line up it's a good one to start at for sure...and for the record i'm not a 'middle-aged Guardian-reading Starbucks-drinking tosspot wearing Crocs, pushing a silly-named kid round in a £500 all-terrain pushchair...but I will be fully reppin at the Dubstep!

I'm there every year, and glad they're bringing the dubstep down this time....

will be playing Dancehall/Reggae/Dubstep/Dub/Jungle with a mate as Bam Bam Sound in the Dubshack on the Sunday night too, so drag whatever's left of you by then down and shuffle about a bit if you fancy...

last year the Dub shack had the Axis soundsystem in it, which had some serious weight. They won't be there this year, but the sound systems are normally pretty sweet at the Big Chill tbh, so I reckon it'll be sweet.

I will be in the dance tent from the off. Apparently it's not had time to dry out properly so don't wear your nicest trainers.

I'll have a distinctive shirt displaying my love of dubstep! I'll say 'hi' unless I'm too shy because I'm with my girl who'll wonder why I'm talking to peeps from the net!

I'm quite excited now! Everything is sorted!!

Another thing to note, the North Camping is closed as it's too wet - not announced where the new camping spot is.
