Fatboy Slim impresses Christchurch audiences, but Napier fans will miss it

Fatboy Slim stunned the Christchurch crowd on Friday night, but Napier fans will miss it.

The top DJ – real name Norman Cook – was supposed to appear in Tremain Par on Saturday night, but the show has been canceled due to the storm.

Promoter Endeavor Live said cardholders will receive a full refund from MoshTix.

“It may take 5 to 7 days for the refund to be processed,” they said in a statement.

Cook hit the turntables in Christchurch on Friday night and played his 1990s hits.

Thousands flocked to the Taiora / QEII Leisure Center in New Brighton to see the British DJ play tracks from his 1998 album You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby.

Cook was in Christchurch on Friday as part of his tour of New Zealand.
