Fatboy Slim brought his Acid Ballroom tour to the Great Hall for a two-night residency that marked 40 years of his music.
Fatboy Slim, the DJ behind “Praise You”, brought his Acid Ballroom tour to the Great Hall at Alexandra Palace in Wood Green on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 February 2026. The two-night residency marked 40 years of his music.
Norman Cook joined the Housemartins as bassist in 1985, and the band had a number one with “Caravan of Love” the next year. He then moved to Brighton, formed Beats International and produced their number one “Dub Be Good to Me”.
His 1998 album as Fatboy Slim, You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby, carried “The Rockafeller Skank” and “Right Here, Right Now”. “Weapon of Choice” followed in 2000 and won six MTV Video Music Awards.
His free 2002 concert on the beach there, Big Beach Boutique II, drew around 250,000 people. In 2025 he played his 100th set at Glastonbury.
At the Palace he went on at 20:30 each night and played to the 22:45 curfew. Jodie Harsh and Joshua James played before him on the Friday, and Ewan McVicar opened the Saturday.
