Fatboy Slim (Aka Norman Cook) is returning to his hometown Brighton to perform a four-hour set, in aid of The Old Market’s ‘Gig for a Gig‘ scheme.
The performance will act as a donation to the Old Market, and the artist will not take any money. Instead, the proceeds will go to the ‘Gig for a Gig scheme’ which will help to continue the venue’s vision of supporting and hosting emerging artists.
Fatboy Slim, who needs no introduction, has said:
“Brighton – think of this as an apology. I wasn’t able to bring the full 360-degree arena show to Brighton during the last tour (no arenas), so this is a special one-off mini version of the show. I can’t wait to see you there!”
Since it’s reopening in 2011 after being bought by creators of the Interational hit show STOMP, the Old Market has valued the importance of hosting big names whilst also supporting local artists. Mark Gordon, the Marketing Manager of the venue has said:
“The Gig for a Gig scheme is our way to help the next generation of artists take the next step in their careers, and we’re beyond delighted that Norman Cook has generously donated his time to the cause. As a cornerstone of the British music scene, we couldn’t ask for a better artist to kick off this exciting series of events.”
The event goes on sale on Friday 26 April and will take place on Monday 27 May. Tickets cost £49.50 and will be available exclusively online at www.theoldmarket.com or by calling 01273 201 801
