Fatboy Slim To Play Intimate Gig To Support Hove Venue

Tuesday, 25 April 2023 06:13

Brighton resident, DJ and producer Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook, has agreed to play a three-hour set at Hove's The Old Market in a "Gig for a Gig" fundraising initiative.

Proceeds from the show will go towards continuing the venue’s vision to support and host exciting and innovative emerging artists. The show is part of the venue’s Gig for a Gig fundraising initiative, which sees big-name performers play intimate headlining shows at The Old Market to support new talent.

This show will mark the second time that Norman Cook has supported The Old Market - in 2019, he performed in the first event that took place as part of the initiative. With his support, the venue was able to fund new and emerging artists to not only develop their work, but also perform on stage at the venue.

Speaking about the upcoming event, Norman Cook says:

“I am so excited about doing another intimate three-hour session at The Old Market. We are trying out a new look show, so anything could happen!”

Helen Jewell, Creative Director at The Old Market, says:

“We are so thankful to Norman aka Fatboy Slim for generously donating his time and talent to our Gig for a Gig initiative. This is a testament to his unwavering commitment to supporting new and emerging artists, as well as preserving venues like ours that bring joy to the community. We are honoured to have such a dedicated friend in our corner, and this performance will help us continue to thrive and inspire for years to come.”

Details: The Old Market, Upper Market Street, Hove, Thursday 18 May.

Event goes on sale to TOM’s Friends on Wednesday 26 April at 10am, and then on general sale on Friday 28 April at 10am.

Tickets: £49.50 plus a £2 venue levy each, with a maximum of four tickets per customer.
