Right here, right now: Fatboy Slim gig in Geelong announced

GET ready to eat, sleep, rave, repeat when legendary dance music pioneer Fatboy Slim makes a triumphant return Down Under next year with his Fatboy Slim Loves Australia tour.

The man also known as Norman Cook genuinely loves Australia and is back to prove it with a run of outdoor shows across the country, including Geelong’s Mt Duneed Estate on March 22.

“Like the crazy drunk uncle who turns up every Christmas, I’m coming back to my Aussie fam once again,” he said this week.

“Expect the usual inappropriate behaviour and interpretational dancing.”

With 10 MTV VMAs, two Brit Awards and a Grammy, several high-profile Ibiza residencies, a Beats 1 Radio Show, a record 20 consecutive years playing at Glastonbury, and even a show on The Great Wall of China, Fatboy Slim has a reputation as one of the most consistently popular DJs and producers on the planet.

He emerged in the UK acid house scene in the 1990s and had early success with the release of hit singles Everybody Needs a 303 and Going Out of My Head, taken from Better Living Through Chemistry, which went to #2 in Australia.

Soon after came The Rockafeller Skank, an early selection from hit album You’ve Come A Long Way Baby, which delivered his first UK #1 in Praise You, as well as club banger Right Here Right Now, which peaked at #2.

Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars followed, featuring Weapon of Choice and its award-winning and unforgettable video directed by Spike Jonze and starring Christopher Walken dancing in an empty hotel lobby.

His more recent releases include 2013’s Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat, featuring a hilarious vocal line improvised by Beardyman in one take.

The March 2025 dates, presented by MG Live, Frontier Touring and Roundhouse Entertainment, will be Fatboy Slim’s first Australian tour since his April/May 2023 headline shows.

Fatboy Slim, supported by DJ Seinfeld, CC:Disco! and Jennifer Loveless will perform at Mt Duneed Estate on March 22, 2025.

The gig is licenced and for all ages.

A strictly limited release of early bird tickets will go on sale today (Friday, October 11) from 1pm via Ticketmaster.

Roundhouse Entertainment and Frontier Touring member presales begin on Tuesday, October 15 at 2pm local time before the general sales starting on Friday, October 18 from 10am local time.

Return bus transfers to the Mt Duneed Show are available from Melbourne CBD, Geelong, Laverton, Werribee, Colac and Surf Coast towns.
