Norman’s special relationship with the world cup started in 2002 when he had the bright idea to book gigs in Japan and South Korea in the same cities as the England games, thus giving the England fans something to do on their nights off and allowing himself and his crew to go to the matches.
Based on the success of this formula he repeated it (this time with FA approval) in euro 2004 in Portugal.
Norm explains “We just thought, why don’t we just book gigs around the England games, that way we get to be there” he went on to say “So I did a T-Shirt saying ‘Fatboy Slim, Official DJ Of The World Cup’ – you have the official beer why not DJ?”.
Ever since, when Norman has had contact with the FA they have thanked him for being the official DJ. So nobody’s really sure if it’s official or not but he’s been getting away with it so far!
Here’s the confirmed World Cup Tour dates so far:
15 June – Wild Waters, Boksburg
16 June – Durban, Kingsmead Cricket Ground
17 June – Cape Town, La Med
18 June – Cool Britannia, International Convention Centre Cape Town
22 June – Port Elizabeth, St Georges Park

The footballers who supported the bans on playing for dummy ‘multi-racial’ teams during the apartheid era. The heroes of the African game who deployed their prowess on the dusty township football parks (you could hardly call them stadiums). Often accompanied by choirs of fans singing their hearts out, and not the obvious borrowed-from-Britain anthems and hymns (ironically, the mound occupied by the Liverpool choir at Anfield was an abbreviation of the Afrikaans word for hill — ‘kopje’) who mixed their adulation for the players with some rousing calls to arms in the struggle for freedom, most of which were not understood by the authorities, who rarely went to black football games during the apartheid era.
It’s awesome!!
