Fatboy Slim to headline Snowbombing 2010
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls - the Fatboy is back. Santa Claus has come early this December to cram none other than super star DJ Fatboy Slim down your chimney!
After missing out on playing Snowbombing 2009 due to medical reasons, Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook is back on form and will honour his promise of returning to the mountains to headline the Forest Party at Snowbombing 2010 (April 5 to 10).
The head honcho himself says ‘"After a little false start, here I come! I love a new experience and I'm eager for some high altitude raving! I only have one question – Is there such a thing as non-alcoholic gluwein? Can we get some in for the igloo especially?!”
The original DJ par excellence, notorious for setting a party alight will be swapping the Beach at Brighton for a chillier setting this April as Snowbombing welcome him back to headline the greatest show on snow. Famed for mixing up meaty slabs of big beats and cut-up samples, Norman will treat the thousands of skiers, boarders and ravers to a unique high altitude performance 2000 metres above sea level. With an Ivor Novello Award for his ‘outstanding contribution to British music’ under his belt along with a fistful of top ten hits, Fatboy Slim has deservedly earned his place as the most in-demand DJ on the planet.
And as if that wasn’t exciting enough, Snowbombing has pulled out the stops to tickle your festive fancy and are pleased as Christmas punch to announce some tasty new additions to their DJ line up.
Weighing down on the line up the like an overloaded Christmas sack bursting with Yuletide treats. Electro house duo Crookers will be bringing a touch of Italian Class to proceedings. Famed for their wobbly bass lines and high-energy sets, the boys from Milan are the perfect remedy to your winter blues.
Stepping up to the plate for the bass hunters, Dupstep pioneer and Afro Warrior Benga and his regular partner in crime Skream next are line. After helping to thrust dupstep into the main stream back in the day, these South London youngsters have gone from strength to strength and we are delighted to have them on the bombing bill for 2010.
Bigger and ruder than Santa Claus after a Saturday night on the sherry, Smash and Grab residents and the original purveyors of cool Queenz of Noize boogie their way onto Snowbombing’s 2010 line up to bring you the best electro/disco floor fillers that cant fail to get you bopping.
The hills are alive with the sound of music and it’s all spangly and spaced out! Snowbombing is excited to welcome East London’s coolest party Disco Bloodbath into it’s icy fold. Over the past year, Disco Bloodbath have risen up the clubbing ladder to stardom faster than Robin Askwith in ‘Confessions of a Window cleaner’ and we are chuffed to have them join the Snowbombing bill.
The baby is back. After sending the arctic disco into meltdown (quite literally) in 2009, Caged Baby returns for his second dip of the Snowbombing fondue and will be destroying the dance floor with his own unique style of electro, techno and disco.
All artists will all be playing once-in-a-lifetime shows in the most awesome venues this side of Neptune; in huge igloos and alpine forests, on snowy plateaus and in medieval barns, surrounded by the UK’s finest ambassadors of nonsense and bonkers - with mountains for a perimeter fence and of over 150 miles of powdery pistes to play on between bands!
As one of the largest and most highly regarded resorts in the world Mayrhofen gets completely taken over for a week long party of hedonistic adventure and extreme sport. The resort also boasts some of Europe’s most lavish spas so you can also relax and enjoy the amazing spring sunshine and snowy mountains of one of Europe’s most snow-sure, late season resorts. The nearby Tux glacier (Austria’s highest lifted point) is only a short (free) bus ride away, and although open all-year round, is at it’s best in spring.
Prices start from £279 to secure your place at the World’s greatest and wackiest show on snow!
