English musician/DJ Fatboy Slim - best known for such international dance/pop hits as "The Rockafeller Skank" and "Praise You" during the late '90s - will do a headline performance at Coachella. Slim takes over the Quasar Stage on Sunday, April 12 during Weekend 1.
Built for its extended set times and immersive LED walls, the Quasar Stage is designed to give artists the space to go deeper, free from the constraints of a traditional shorter festival slot—making it the perfect setting for one of the most dynamic DJs in the world. The full performance will stream live on
Coachella’s YouTube allowing for viewers around the world to enjoy the set.
Ahead of Coachella, Fatboy Slim will warm up with two special U.S. shows: April 10 at Silo in Dallas and April 11 at The Concourse Project in Austin.
Fatboy Slim’s history with Coachella stretches back to the festival’s earliest days, and he’s remained a fixture throughout its evolution—thanks to his widespread appeal and constantly evolving artistry.
From early appearances, a 2008 headlining Sahara performance, 2014 expanded audiovisual show “Eat Sleep Rave Repeat” in Sahara, to the most recent set in the Yuma tent in 2022, a return in 2026 continues a two and a half decades-long connection with the festival and its fans and marks Slim's fifth Coachella appearance.
Having celebrated 40 years in show business in 2025, Fatboy Slim (aka Norman Cook) performed for his 100th time at UK’s Glastonbury Festival last year.
The most recent release, “Satisfaction Skank,” is more than 20 years in the making—a mashup of his iconic “Rockafeller Skank” mixed with The Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” that he originally created over 25 years ago.
A staple of his live sets and a much-bootleged fan favorite ever since, the track has officially been released with the blessing of the Stones who provided access to the original master tapes, delivered in an armored truck, so Fatboy Slim could create the definitive, official version. The track was fully recreated and rerecorded, transforming it into a no-holds-barred dancefloor weapon while retaining the stadium-scale power of the original.
Speaking on the release, Fatboy Slim says, ‘Over countless years I have always dreamed of an official release for this mash up. It has been a favorite in my DJ sets for over a quarter of a century, I can confirm it is thoroughly road tested and fit for purpose.”
The track already passed 10 million streams, landed on BBC Radio 1’s Hot Recurrent playlist, earned an A-List spot on Radio 1 Dance, and sparked huge fan engagement with 15,000+ UGC creations, 100K Shazams, and over 6,000 radio plays.
