When we think about Fatboy Slim, there are two anecdotes which immediately spring to mind. The first is that the lyrics ‘right here, right now’ from the 1999 track of the same name is actually an Angela Bassett quote from the sci-fi thriller film Strange Days.

The second is that a family friend went to Fatboy Slim's open-air concert on Brighton Beach in 2002 — Big Beach Boutique II — while organisers predicted a crowd of around 60,000 partygoers, instead an estimated 250,000 people squeezed into the promenade and beach.

If all this talk about open-air concerts has got you nostalgic for summer, you’ll be thrilled to hear that Fatboy Slim has announced a Loves Summer tour for 2024, which will take place across June, July and August next year. This announcement comes hot off the heels of the 25th anniversary reissue of the 1998 album You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby.

Norman Cook's — better known by his stage name Fatboy Slim — 1998 album was arguably the defining record of the 1990s; the dance album produced the hit singles Rockafeller Skank, Gangster Tripping, Praise You, and Right Here Right Now.

Praise You was Fatboy Slim’s first UK solo number one, and its music video, starring American filmmaker Spike Jonze, won three awards including a Breakthrough Video award. The album itself reached number one in the UK Albums Chart and contains not one, not two, but four UK Top 10 singles, and it earned Fatboy Slim a BRIT Award.

As well as his solo work, Fatboy Slim has been the mastermind behind successful remixes for Cornershop, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, and Wildchild; our personal favourite track being the Brimful of Asha remix.

More recently, Fatboy Slim played Glastonbury Festival this summer, and he performed the song Insomnia by British electronic band Faithless as a tribute to the late Maxi Jazz. Now, you can hear the upbeat tracks of Fatboy Slim at a venue near you next summertime. Here’s how to get tickets today.
