Fatboy Slim charts short club tour

On the heels of the release of his latest video, "Weapon of Choice," which can be found on his latest CD single, Fatboy Slim has announced a five-date tour that includes a stop at the Coachella festival in Indio, Calif.

Four of the dates are DJ club shows with openers Scanty Sandwich and Darren Emerson. For the Coachella festival, Fatboy Slim (also known as Norman Cool) joins a partially reunited Jane’s Addiction and a host of others.

The Spike Jonze-directed video for "Weapon of Choice," starring actor Christopher Walken, will be available on the single of Fatboy Slim's club hit "Star 69 (What the F---)" (Astralwerks). The single, to be released on May 8, will feature remixes by Timo Maas, DJ Godfather and DJ Delite. The original versions of "Weapon of Choice" and "Star 69" appear on Fatboy Slim's latest record, last year’s "Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars" (Astralwerks).

A earlier version of this story incorrectly reported that Red Hot Chili Peppers would be on the Coachella festival bill.
