Fatboy Slim to Ring in 2017 at Parma's Cortile della Pilotta
British DJ Fatboy Slim will headline Parma's New Year's Eve celebration on December 31, 2016, at the late 16th-century Cortile della Pilotta. The event, starting at 10:30 PM, is organized with permission from the Soprintendenza per le province di Parma e Piacenza. This follows Giorgio Moroder's performance the previous year, reinforcing Parma's commitment to international music. Fatboy Slim, a pioneer of big beat music blending house, breakbeat, rock, hip hop, and R&B, recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut album 'Better Living Through Chemistry' with a deluxe reissue and closed the 2016 Sónar festival in Barcelona. He is a key figure of the 'trainspotting generation' alongside the Chemical Brothers.
