Fatboy Slim is set to perform at a festival this weekend for an audience of only 60 people, in celebration of grassroots live music. The Everywhere At Once festival is scheduled to take place from June 26-28, 2026, featuring over 2000 artists across 400 grassroots music venues.

Expressing his support for grassroots venues, Fatboy Slim emphasized the importance of such spaces in nurturing music scenes and fostering communities. He highlighted the crucial role of these venues in artist development and urged music enthusiasts to patronize local venues, discover new talent, and contribute to the preservation of music scenes.
In addition to Fatboy Slim, other artists like Becky Hill, Tinie Tempah, Rizzle Kicks, Glenn Tilbrook, and The Lathums will also be performing special intimate shows to draw attention to these vital spaces.
