Shindig are very proud to have been confirmed as one of only two exclusive UK club appearances as he fine tunes his sonic armoury before trotting the globe smashing the summer festival circuit to pieces.

Just when you thought our May listings couldn’t get any better we go and announce a rather special event for the Bank Holiday Weekend…Globally-recognized for turning out massively infectious crowd-pleasers that tear up clubs, festivals and sun soaked beaches alike Fatboy Slim is something of a phenomena.

Multi platinum selling artist – Festival headliner – Champion of the Hawaiian shirt and all round nice guy Mr Slim has always placed the emphasis on hedonism over experimentalism.

We’ve been a long, long way together………….. don’t miss this!!

Committed to bringing you the most upfront house music talent, Shindig welcomes rising international star Arno Cost for his debut appearance in Room 2. As one of the hottest DJ/Producer’s to come out of France over the last 12 months, Arno truly defined his style with the monster hit “Magenta” – heavily supported by Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. He continues to assemble a heavy CV of roof raising remixes for likes of Toolroom and CR2 all consistently bolstered with Arno’s undeniable melodic gifts and uplifting intuition

if that wasn’t enough, The Terrace Bar is visited this week by Scott Udberg, who besides making a habit of dispensing the deeply measured and subtle side of house and techno to Newcastle’s underground scene, will be stretching his legs for 5hrs of unrestricted tasteful vibes.

Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne has revealed he is putting the finishing touches to a new album with Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook.

The pair have roped in a host of guest stars for the project, Here Lies Love, including Santigold and Roisin Murphy.

The concept album trails the life of Imelda Marcos, the widow of former Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

"We’ve got three more singers who have still to record on it but we’re almost there," Byrne told BBC 6 Music.

"There is a different singer on every song – including Sharon Jones [from Amy Winehouse's backing band The Dap-Kings], Alice Russell and Tori Amos," he added.

"There’s a lot of singers, it goes on and on."

Byrne is performing songs from his collaborations with U2 and Coldplay producer Brian Eno at London’s Royal Festival Hall over the Easter weekend as part of the Ether festival.

I realised I could thematically bring some stuff in that the audience would like to hear using Brian Eno David Byrne on his live tour

Byrne will play tracks from from their numerous collaborations – starting with Talking Heads in the 1970s through to their 2008 album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.

Talking about that album, Byrne said: "Last spring I could see we were going to have enough songs for a record and that it was nearing completion and I really was enjoying singing the songs.

"I thought it would be a shame to never ever get to sing it again, so we decided to do these dates."

Byrne said he initially only intended to sing tracks from the recent album for the pair of Royal Festival Hall concerts.

But he then had a change of heart.

"I thought, ‘I don’t want to just do a hodge-podge of stuff’," he explained. "Then I realised I could thematically bring some stuff in that the audience would like to hear, using Eno as a connection.

"So that opened the way to older stuff and newer stuff and seeing if we could thread the two."

David Byrne will perform his Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno show at London’s Royal Festival Hall on 12-13 April.
