Big Beach Festival '11

After the Chemical Brothers got a ho-hum reception last year, Big Beach Festival has brought back the man who started it all: Norman 'Fatboy Slim' Cook. The world may already have forgotten about Here Lies Love, the Imelda Marcos-themed concept album he released last year with David Byrne, but Cook's ability to work a crowd is beyond doubt. Indeed, this looks to be one ass-shaker of a party, with DJ turns from Carl Cox, Steve Lawler and Seth Troxler, plus an array of reliable Japanese talent including Dexpistols and Tomyuki 'Fantastic Plastic Machine' Tanaka. Just make sure you're ready for the rude shock of the early closing time.
