Fatboy Slim Joins Massive 'Glastonbury Replacement' Festival Lineup
Missing Glastonbury? The Everywhere At Once festival is bringing Fatboy Slim and more to local venues! Join the movement to support the UK's grassroots music scene this June.
Music fans have a major reason to celebrate this June, even without a trip to Worthy Farm. The Everywhere At Once festival has just announced a wave of huge additions to its lineup, positioning itself as the ultimate "Glastonbury replacement" from June 26-28. Leading the charge is none other than dance music legend Fatboy Slim, who joins a diverse roster of talent dedicated to saving the UK’s struggling grassroots music scene.
The festival is a unique collaboration between the Music Venue Trust and The National Lottery, designed to bring world-class acts into the intimate spaces where music culture truly lives. Fatboy Slim, who has played the world's biggest stages, emphasized that small venues are the lifeblood of the industry. He noted that these spaces are where artists learn their craft and communities form, urging fans to support their local venues by buying tickets and discovering new talent.
The newly announced shows are spread across the country, making this a truly nationwide celebration. Grime icon D Double E is set to take over The Brickworks in Nottingham, while Westside Cowboy will perform a highly anticipated hometown show at Manchester’s Low Four. Fans in London can catch Squeeze’s Glenn Tilbrook at The Theatreship in Canary Wharf, and Lucy Spraggan is scheduled to play The Sub Rooms in Stroud. These stars join previously announced acts like Becky Hill and Tinie Tempah, making for a packed weekend of live performances.
Glenn Tilbrook echoed the sentiment regarding the importance of small stages, recalling how Squeeze started in tiny venues in South East London 50 years ago. While the band now headlines arenas like the O2, Tilbrook maintains that the energy of a grassroots venue remains unmatched. Details for Fatboy Slim’s specific show and ticket information are expected to be released in the coming weeks, so fans are encouraged to stay tuned and get ready to support their local music scene.
