Fatboy Slim Announces Massive Beach Party

Popular dance DJ and musician Fatboy Slim is to celebrate New Year's Day with a huge outdoor beach party.
Entry to the event, which is being billed as Big Beach Boutique 3, will only be available to residents of Brighton with a "BN" postcode.
To ensure the event runs smoothly without fears of over crowding, only 20,000 tickets will be allocated. The limited release of tickets is the result of a past event in 2002, where 250,000 music fans turned up instead of the initial estimate of 60,000.
Speaking about the event, Fatboy Slim told the Brightn Argus: "I can't believe it is finally happening but it is. I can promise the people of Brighton this is going to be one hell of a show."
"Everytime I have been shopping in Brighton for the past four years at least, once person has come up to me and asked when I'll be doing it again. Everytime I have had to say I can't because I've been banned. It's such a relief not to have to say that any more."
In other news, the next release from Fatboy Slim is the Champion Sound single on November 6th. The song also appears on his best-selling album to date - his greatest hits collection, Why Try Harder.
