Fatboy Slim announces Brighton & Hove fundraising gig

Fresh off his 2023 UK tour, the DJ and producer will be performing at The Old Market, with proceeds from the show going 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.

The show will mark the second time 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, TOM was able to fund new and emerging artists to not only develop their work, but also perform.

Norman said: “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, added: “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.”

The gig takes place at The Old Market, Upper Market Street, Hove on Thursday, May 18. Tickets will cost £49.50 plus a £2 venue levy each, with a maximum of four tickets per customer. Booking is available exclusively online at www.theoldmarket.com or by calling 01273 201 801.

The Old Market (TOM) was opened in 2011 by the creators of the global percussive phenomenon STOMP to create an independent hub for the arts in their home city and channel some of their success back into the local arts eco system.

TOM encourages “intrepid experimentation, by presenting new voices and fresh concepts. The intersection between, and merging of contemporary art forms, creates the foundation of our curated programme; transcending theatre as ‘institution’ and encouraging playful, accessible, innovative experiences made by a diverse range of voices.

“The festival-like programme at TOM is the cornerstone of our identity. We host over 200 different events every year from our multi-format (300 seat, 500 standing capacity) space. Over 65,000 people come through our doors each year to experience live music, film, boundary breaking theatre, dance, cabaret, comedy, literature, workshops and performances using new technologies, as part of our #TOMtech programme.” https://www.theoldmarket.com
