Fatboy to play intimate Proms gig
Fatboy Slim
Fatboy Slim is one of the world's biggest DJs
Festival favourite Fatboy Slim is to play a gig for just 100 people as part of the BBC Electric Proms.

The Brighton DJ has been added to the Proms bill, along with Basement Jaxx and Jamiroquai.

Singer James Brown and The Who have already been confirmed for the event - a five-day rock and pop festival being held across Camden, north London.

Fatboy Slim will perform at a secret venue, with tickets being given away by Radio 1.

Tickets for Jamiroquai at the Jazz Cafe are also being given away free through a random draw.

Other names already on the line-up include Mercury Prize nominees Guillemots and The Good, The Bad and The Queen - a new act put together by Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn.

The Who will give a one-off premiere of their rock opera Wire And Glass.

Several venues in Camden will be used for gigs, film screenings, art and master classes, with highlights broadcast on TV, on radio and online.
