Full dates below, with tickets on general sale this Friday November 3rd from Ticketmaster, with more links here.
The announcement arrives on the heels of the 25th anniversary reissue of You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby. First released in 1998, the album You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby became one of THE defining records of the ‘90s, irrespective of genre. Swinging from hip-hop, to reggae and jangle pop, with this record Norman Cook broke stylistic ground and delivered a wildly original album, filled with imagination, huge hooks and infectious beats.
The album that spawned era-defining singles ‘Rockafeller Skank’, ‘Gangster Trippin’, ‘Praise You’ and ‘Right Here Right Now’ was bigger than just a dance album, You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby was a genuine phenomenon, enjoying huge critical and commercial success; reaching Number One in the UK album charts, it contains 4 UK Top 10 singles, and earned Norman Cook a BRIT Award for best producer and two further nominations (Male Solo Artist and British Single) along the way.
The 25th anniversary reissue album has been remastered at half speed at Abbey Road Studios for the best available audio quality possible and is available to buy here.
A documentary about Fatboy Slim’s big gig in Brighton Beach in 2002 was recently released, and has recently shown on Sky Documentaries.
