Legendary DJ Fatboy Slim – AKA Norman Cook – has announced he will grant one customer the opportunity to have their pad transformed into the best house party ever.

One lucky fan will truly become the host with the most, staging the final night of Fatboy Slim’s UK tour at their own home exclusively for them and their mates. The first ever “Deliverave” – a live set played by Fatboy Slim, complete with a feast fit for a king provided by Deliveroo, will take place on March 7^th. All they need to bring is their best dance moves and an empty stomach.

Fatboy Slim said, “Everyone knows I love to DJ and I also love food. With the help of Deliveroo I have managed to hit the jackpot because I’ll be delivering both to one lucky person’s house. Warn the neighbours I’m coming.”

Customers on the Deliveroo app will be invited to offer their property into an online ballot, from 6th February, with the winner of the epic food and music delivery announced on 20th February. Ten lucky runners-up will also be able to bag a pair of tickets, delivered in iconic FATBOYS pizza boxes, to a date of their choice on the UK tour.

Joe Groves at Deliveroo said, “We know how to deliver food but this is all about food freedom and delivering out of this world experiences; like a rave to your home. Fatboy Slim is iconic and we’re upping the food delivery game by partnering with him to allow our customers to eat, sleep, rave, repeat.”

Customers can apply for the chance to host the night by visiting www.deliverave.com and the lucky location will be announced on 20th February.

Put the kettle on: Independent Venue Week (IVW), the UK’s leading celebration of independent music venues, has announced a partnership with Yorkshire Tea to fuel venues and gig-goers all around the country.

As well as making sure every venue can offer a proper brew across the week, Little Urn, their legendary mobile tea van, will be taking to the road at the weekend visiting The Adelphi in Hull on Friday 1^st February for Novelist and The Trades Club in Hebden Bridge on Sunday 3^rd February for Thurston Moore.

The partnership will also see Yorkshire Tea offering VIT (Very Important Tea-drinkers) hampers for a handful of venues and artists.

As part of IVW’s “Where Does Music Take You?” campaign, encouraging gig goers to tour and visit cities and venues they’ve never been to before, Yorkshire Tea is asking “Where will a brew take you?” inviting gig goers to share their experiences of shows they’ve been to across the week on social media, tagging @YorkshireTea. The most adventurous posts will win a special box of tea, limited edition IVW Yorkshire tea towels and pin badges.

Ben Newbury, Senior Brand Manager at Yorkshire Tea said: “We love our music here at Yorkshire Tea and we’re proud to have worked with loads of tea-loving bands and venues over the years. We’re really proud to be supporting Independent Venue Week this year, fuelling venues and artists with proper brews and visiting a couple of Yorkshire-based shows with our trusty Little Urn.”

“Who doesn’t love a proper brew? When you’re on the road touring or in a venue getting bands set up for a show, nothing can beat a good cup of tea – it’s what keeps everyone going. But it needs to be done right – decent mug, fresh milk and most importantly, quality tea” said Sybil Bell, Founder of IVW UK. “The IVW office runs on tea and so this partnership is an absolute treat for us. Proper venues offering a proper brew for proper gigs.”

Independent Venue Week is running, once again, at the end of January giving gig goers the perfect reason to get out and see newly-tipped artists, helping to shake off the January blues and support their local venues. As the project continues to grow, there are plans for much more activity with venues and partners across the whole year which will be announced after the week.

Novelist and Samantha Renke are ambassadors for 2019. Key facts include:

• 200+ venues signed up to take part
• 90 of those venues are taking part for the first time
• Venues in 100+ different villages, towns and cities around the UK
• 55% of the venues are outside of large cities
• 86% of venues outside London

Jaguar have kicked off a new experience-driven campaign in Amsterdam, with a pioneering music and technology collaboration with global music sensation Dua Lipa. At the core of the connected experience is a cutting-edge bespoke software developed by Imagination, which creates personalised remixes of Dua Lipa’s new song ‘Want To’. The campaign, entitled ‘The Pace’ reflects Jaguar’s desire to increase brand awareness and become more relevant to a wider audience in Europe. Imagination worked as part of an integrated agency team alongside The Brooklyn Brothers, Dentsu, and Spark44 to deliver the campaign.

The software works in three ways; using personal drive data captured through the InControl systems in the Jaguar PACE vehicles, through physical interaction data by tapping on your phone device or through your Spotify music preferences. Through the software engine, millions of unique remixes are possible for people all over the world, opening the possibility of the most remixed song in history.

European influencers and VIPs got the opportunity to be the first to create their individual remixes, following a day of city drives in the all electric I-PACE.  The launch night saw Dua Lipa perform to a live audience of 800 fans at a secret gig at Sugar City, where she launched her track among a visual extravaganza of digital content and lighting.

Fans can join in and create their own personalised remixes here: https://remix.jointhepace.com.
