“His shows are the stuff of legend and I have every confidence this will be a huge night filled with some of the best beats the world of electronic music has to offer.

“I’m also really looking forward to welcoming Becky Hill back to Lytham. It will be nine years since she was last here and her career just goes from strength to strength so it will be a pleasure to see her return to our stage.

Fast-forward three decades, and Cook remains as relevant today as he did when he first broke onto the scene. With his shoes off and his trademark Hawaiian shirt on, his reach spans the globe and with more than 100 performances at Glastonbury along with headline stages from Rio to Coachella and Ibiza to underground clubs, his trip to Lytham Festival will be a night of hedonistic energy.

Special guest will be Becky Hill, who first performed at Lytham Festival alongside Pete Tong in 2018. A two-time BRIT Award winning artist, Becky has exceeded 10 billion career streams to date, six UK Top 10 hits, a number 1 single, and her debut album Only Honest On The Weekend soared into the Top 10 on release and was certified Gold.

Alongside her success as a recording artist, Becky is also a formidable live performer, with exceptional sets at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, Parklife and Creamfields, alongside a sold-out UK and Ireland arena headline tour. Returning to Lytham with Fatboy Slim will mark another huge show for the singer who first came to prominence after reaching the semi-finals of TV’s The Voice UK back in 2012.
