Loch Ness Party: June 24th 2006
Fatboy Slim at Loch Ness
Unable to find a suitable beach back home, we went looking further afield. Bondi in Australia, and Bahia in Brasil came up trumps. So we tried Brighton again, and they just weren’t having it. Then our friends in Northern Ireland invited us to play Port Rush beach.
Fantastic!
Then we thought, what if we could find a beach in Scotland too?
Then the phone rang ……Loch Ness calling. Funny how these things happen! Apparently there’ll be northern lights that night. The site is a beauty. The Celts are reknowned for their partyability. And we’ve got some cracking special guests on the bill. We needed something to do on Glastonbury weekend, and I couldn’t think of a more suitable caper! Let’s begin the search for Donald’s troosers!”
Norman Cook a.k.a. Fatboy Slim
Saturday 24 June 2006 will see FBS play a one-day outdoor gig in the Scottish Highlands. The landmark event will take place for the first time ever on the banks of spectacular Loch Ness, outside the village of Dores, Four miles south-west of Inverness.
That is the first time in eight years, Fatboy Slim has played in Scotland and up to 20,000 music-lovers are expected to join the massive celebration for this historic Midsummer’s Day gig. A stellar line-up of some of the biggest names in dance including Carl Cox, Mylo and Slam are confirmed to date as special guests, with more names to be revealed soon.
Fatboy Slim at Loch Ness will coincide with the June release of his much anticipated Greatest Hits album and fans can expect to hear many of the anthems which have made him, arguably, the world’s most famous DJ.
