Zipwiring straight into 2026, Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, today announces Big Beach Boutique 7 – three massive On The Beach dates on the pebbles of Brighton Beach on Friday 17 July, Saturday 18 July and Sunday 19 July next year. Presale tickets will be available from 10am on Thursday 6 November, with general sale following at 10am on Friday 7 November. Sign up for presale HERE.
Each date will be packed from start to finish with music, hijinks and joy, spanning from the early afternoon well into the night. More details will be announced soon.
Fatboy Slim said: “There’s no place like home … I’m back on Brighton Beach for three spectacular nights in July 2026. This is Big Beach Boutique 7.”
It’s been 24 years since the original Big Beach Boutique took place, drawing around 40,000 people to Brighton Beach. A year later, in 2002, Fatboy Slim returned for Big Beach Boutique II, a free open-air concert that attracted a record-breaking crowd of more than 250,000 people. Described as “the biggest event the UK has ever seen”, the audience was over four times larger than expected and effectively doubled Brighton’s population for the day. From first-time ravers and veteran clubbers to dedicated superfans and curious locals, it felt as though the whole world had come down to Brighton for Fatboy Slim’s Big Beach Boutique II.
In 2026, Fatboy Slim will return for three shows packed with the same energy, but with a more intimate crowd, bringing his big beats back to the pebbles on his hometown’s finest stretch of beach.
Previous editions of On The Beach have featured unforgettable sets from dance music luminaries like Carl Cox, Alan Fitzpatrick, The Blessed Madonna, Annie Mac and Nic Fanciulli. With a tradition of excellence, this year’s lineup is shaping up to be nothing short of spectacular
