Fatboy Slim is to headline the penultimate day of this year's O2 Wireless music festival.

The Brighton DJ will take to the stage at London's Hyde Park on Saturday, July 5.

"For a long while I've wanted to play outdoors in London, but I just couldn't find a beach!" said the DJ, real name Norman Cook. "Hopefully we can bring some of the spirit of [my] Brighton shows into the heart of London town."

Electronic duo Underworld and funk icon Bootsy Collins - making his first UK live appearance in seven years - will also appear on the Saturday bill.

Other headliners at the four-day music extravaganza, which takes place on July 3-6, will be announced in the coming weeks.

Kaiser Chiefs, Klaxons and Basement Jaxx have performed at the event in previous years.
