Fatboy Slim

The English DJ and producer Norman Cook, known as Fatboy Slim, is a pioneer of the big-beat style that dominated dance floors in the late 1990s. His sound blends heavy breakbeats, eclectic samples and pop-hook structures, rooted in electronic and house music. After early work with the Housemartins and Beats International, Cook launched a solo career that yielded hits such as “The Rockafeller Skank” and “Praise You,” and he has remained a fixture of major festivals and club nights worldwide. His most recent set was at Vancouver’s Malkin Bowl on 25 September 2026. He will headline his own shows at A.i. Warehouse in Washington on 22 January 2027 and at Lytham Green in Lancashire on 2 July 2027, and will appear on the Isle of Wight Festival bill on 17 June 2027.
