Shindig bringing Fatboy Slim to Gateshead with support from Gorgon City

He sold out a huge outdoor gig in Newcastle city centre a few years ago, so you'll need to be VERY quick to snap up tickets for Fatboy Slim's return to Tyneside this autumn.

Fatboy Slim, real name Norman Cook, packed out Times Square in the summer of 2016 and the superstar DJ will be crossing the River Tyne for a night in Gateshead on Friday, October 4.

The location for the event, hosted by Shindig Events, is Main Yard a still TBC venue, which is being teased as a 'covered event structure, five minutes from the banks of the Tyne.'

The announcement of the Fatboy Slim event, which will also feature Gorgon City and Cousn on the lineup, follows hot on the heels of the reveal of one the night after at Main Yard, headlined by Patrick Topping.

News of Fatboy Slim's appearance broke on Facebook shortly after 5pm on Tuesday evening and the reaction was huge straight away.

He is of course the man who has topped the bill at massive events the world over and given us epic songs like Rockafella Skank, Praise You and Right Here, Right Now.

How to get tickets

Early bird tickets are on sale now online from Skiddle, priced £27.75.
