"Confidential performance by Fatboy Slim scrapped in Ireland due to an excess of revelations concerning the event"
Fatboy Slim's Secret Performance at Electric Picnic Cancelled Due to Safety Concerns
In a surprising turn of events, promoter Melvin Benn made the difficult decision to cancel Fatboy Slim's secret performance at the Electric Picnic festival in County Laois, Ireland. The cancellation was announced on August 31, 2025, via a tweet that included a picture related to the cancelled performance.
Fatboy Slim, one of the headliners at the festival, was scheduled to perform a 90-minute set on the Salty Dog stage. The cancelled performance was set to feature a new 90-minute set by the popular DJ. However, unforeseen logistical issues led to the decision to cancel the secret performance.
Melvin Benn expressed his regret for letting both Fatboy Slim and the fans down. The promoter lamented that he couldn't keep the secret in Ireland, unlike in the UK where he has had to enforce restrictions on what Kneecap, another major draw at the festival, can say due to different regulations.
Despite the cancellation, Kneecap's performance at Electric Picnic was a politically charged event, with accusations against the Irish government. The group used their platform to accuse the Irish government of complicity in genocide due to the facilitation of Israeli war bond sales.
In an unexpected turn of events, Kneecap thanked Melvin Benn from the stage at the Electric Picnic festival. Melvin Benn stated that he had no restrictions on what Kneecap could say at the festival, unlike in the UK.
Fatboy Slim was disappointed about the cancellation, as was evident in Melvin Benn's statement. There were no mentions of any new headliners or secret performances replacing Fatboy Slim's cancelled set.
Melvin Benn, the promoter of the festival, made a decision to cancel the performance for safety reasons. The organiser, Mostrim Live, echoed this sentiment, stating that the cancellation was necessary despite the disappointment it caused.
Despite the cancellation, Electric Picnic was a successful festival, with a variety of performances and activities for attendees to enjoy. The festival continues to be a highlight of the Irish music scene, and fans are already looking forward to next year's event.
