Big Beach Festival '12

The Tokyo-area offshoot of Fatboy Slim's original Brighton beach party returns to the shores of not-so-scenic Makuhari this June for another dose of bikinis and big beats. With Fatboy busy manning the decks at the Big Beach Bootique (sic) fest back in Blighty that weekend, it's been left to 2010 headliners The Chemical Brothers to take control of the proceedings – albeit with a DJ set rather than the spectacular live show seen at last year's Fuji Rock. They're set to be joined by German techno veteran Sven Väth, British progressive house don John Digweed, beatboxer Beardyman and a fair few others. Here's the lineup:

Beardyman, The Chemical Brothers, Nathan Detroit, John Digweed, JFB, Timo Mäas, Shinichi Osawa, Satoshi Otsuki, Matthias Tanzmann, Sven Väth
