“DJ Harvey is one of my most respected heroes. The DJ’s DJ. Though I have watched him play many times we seldom play on the same bill so this is a treat and an honour…," says Fatboy Slim.

Harvey says, "When my old friend Norman Cook called me to ask me to play at his Fatboy Slim Loves Japan show I was very excited because this was an offer I could not refuse. It’s going to be an incredible show for us all."
