We may still be in the UK coronavirus lockdown and socialising a distant dream, but that has not stopped the original 'funk soul brother' from announcing big plans for a free NHS thank you party. Fatboy Slim will play a party in his home town of Brighton in October 2020.

The DJ extended “an invitation to all NHS doctors, nurses, support workers, porters and cleaners” as well as “all blue light staff, ambulance, police and fire service (+ importantly their +1s)” to attend the show.
“By the time life returns to normal, we will all want to celebrate together and I would like to do my bit to reward and thank everyone who has been holding our lives together in these most difficult of times,” the DJ said in a statement about the gig.

Tickets for the gig, which carries the subtitle ‘NHS: I Have To Praise You Like I Should’ (in reference to Fatboy Slim’s 1999 single ‘Praise You’), will go on sale tomorrow (April 17) at 7PM.
