Get ready to hit the pebbles! Dance music legend Fatboy Slim has announced the triumphant return of the legendary event series, Big Beach Boutique, for three massive shows on Brighton Beach in July 2026. Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, is set to host Big Beach Boutique 7 on Friday 17th, Saturday 18th, and Sunday 19th July 2026.
The announcement marks a spectacular return to the location that cemented Cook's status as a global phenomenon. “There’s no place like home… I’m back on Brighton Beach for 3 spectacular nights in July 2026. THIS IS BIG BEACH BOUTIQUE 7…” he exclaimed.
It has been over two decades since the iconic Big Beach Boutique II in 2002, which famously attracted a record-breaking, unplanned crowd of over 250,000 people to Brighton, an audience four times larger than expected. Described at the time as "the biggest event the UK has ever seen," that legendary show saw the entire world descend upon Cook’s hometown.
In 2026, the energy will be just as high, but the crowds will be more intimate across the three-day run. Each "On The Beach" date promises a full day of music, hijinks, and joy, running from the early afternoon well into the night. While more details about the full line-up are forthcoming, previous "On The Beach" events have featured dance music luminaries such as Carl Cox, Annie Mac, and The Blessed Madonna.
Fans hoping to secure tickets should move quickly. Presale tickets will be available from 10 am on November 6th, with the general sale following at 10 am on November 7th.
