Fatboy Slim will come to the county next month as part of an event put together by Kent’s answer to Banksy.

The iconic DJ is set to appear with street artist Catman at Whitstable for a live signing event.

Fans will be offered the chance to get pictures with the 61-year-old star, as well as check out exclusive artworks by Catman.

Hosted by Hove coffee outlet Pepita Coffee, which partners with Fat Boy Slim, the event will take place at Thirty Nine Whitstable on June 12 between 6pm and 8pm.

Based in Whitstable, Catman has shot to fame in the past decade for his street art style, drawing comparisons to the legendary Banksy.

In an interview with KentOnline in 2021, he said he was originally flattered but was forging his own individual style.

That year, he re-imagined an image of Vincent Van Gogh with a spray can, kneeling beside a sunflower which he recreated on the side of public loos in Whitstable.

In 2020, he painted a picture on the former Debenhams in Canterbury, called The Usual Suspects, which featured world-famous artists Pablo Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol and Keith Haring in a police-style line-up.

It was a reproduction of a popular mural Catman originally created in London's Portobello Road in 2017, which he has since exhibited around the world.

Also in 2020, he paid homage to the hard-pressed NHS and medics on the frontline at the height of the pandemic with a street image in Whitstable of a stressed-looking doctor wearing a white coat and face mask with a stethoscope slung around his neck.

But behind him, his shadow does not match his dejected posture. Instead, it shows the silhouette of an upright superhero, wearing a cape.

The previous year, he took a dig at Boris Johnson and the Brexit referendum with an image of the then Prime Minister holding a TV-style ‘Deal or No Deal’ red box which appeared in Hatton Garden in London.

And again in 2019, he was busy in Whitstable, creating an anti-plastic piece of artwork on the side of the Pilgrims Hospice shop in Whitstable, marking the birthday of wildlife documentary legend Sir David Attenborough.
