FATBOY Slim is offering exclusive VIP tickets and backstage passes to a club show on Brighton seafront in aid of a football-orientated charity.

The house music legend will perform a sold-out nightclub gig at Coliseum in King’s Road.

Twenty charitable fans will get the chance to rub shoulders with the icon if they donate £100 to Coaching for Hope.

Fatboy Slim, also known as Norman Cook, who lives in Hove, is the patron of the charity and has pledged to use the December 17 show to help raise money to fund its work in Africa.

The VIP package will include passes to the Hub Club, Coliseum’s club within a club, which doubles up as Fatboy’s dressing room.

There will also be a champagne reception, with canapés provided by Norman Cook’s Hove Lagoon-based Big Beach Café and give fans the chance to meet and take photos with Norman before he goes on stage.

The money raised by the gig will fund the training of more community leaders in some of the world’s poorest countries about how to use football as a tool to engage and support vulnerable young people.

Norman said: “My experience of working with the street kids and orphans in Mali and Cape Town is that football is a great way of raising awareness of HIV and Aids – and this saves lives. “Coaching for Hope makes a difference. I’ve seen it and that’s why I am stoked to be able to do the benefit gig on the 17th to raise some much-needed funds for our work.

“A thousand thanks to the Coliseum for giving us the venue. It’s gonna be a special night.”

Coaching for Hope uses football to help create better futures for young people living in disadvantaged communities around the world.

Seven of the packages have already gone. Coaching For Hope said they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. A spokesman for the charity also said the number of available tickets may rise if there is the demand.
