Fatboy Slim rolls into town tonight to bring his extensive catalogue of hits to Dublin’s 3 Arena.
The city, and particularly the northside, has held a special place in the heart of the DJ ever since Bohemian FC revealed a banner alluding to his 1998 song Praise You a few years back. The tribute came to the attention of Mr. Slim, real name Norman Cook, and ahead of tonight’s show he’s posted a reminder of the Dalymount Park salute to his 160,000 followers.
Dublin tonight! Unfortunately @JaxJones can’t make the show but we have the excellent @CousnUK warming you up. pic.twitter.com/xsDRz1DOAm

If Norman is lucky, he could even be going back to Brighton with some new decor for his home if this tweet by Bohs is anything to go by…
@FatboySlim we’re trying to reach you with a little gift to drop to you in Dublin today if you can message us 🔴⚫️

Rovers and Pats fans certainly won’t be too keen on Norman’s message but given the quality of his live shows, he should be forgiven later on. With The Gypsies currently sitting pretty at the top of the league though, Cook should be in decent form as he spins his tunes. Doors open at the venue at 7pm.
