Legendary DJ and producer Fatboy Slim has announced a string of performances; the British artist will begin the Y’all Are The Music, We’re Just The DJ’s tour in March 2023. Otherwise known as Norman Cook, the “Praise You” artist has personally selected the tour’s venues based on their size and level of intimacy, enabling Cook to perform a personalised set for his fans.
Speaking on his hotly anticipated tour, the chart-topping artist has stated, “Coming out of COVID I have played many different types of shows from arenas to the Gas tower at Glastonbury, and I just find the closer I am to the audience the more I love it… this is what this tour brings.“
Time to get some fun in the diary for next year…

I went over there recently to see what it was like…I felt like a kid in a sweet shop, the scale and possibilities for the fun we can have on this Weekender are endless. Watch this video of my visit to see what I mean.“
The statement continued, “The resort has everything you could need…music venues, shops, restaurants, rides and even a massive pool complex. I’m already talking to some of my favourite DJ’s, artists and party crews about playing and hosting rooms… more news on that as we get it!“
