10 Totally Unique Locations For Music Concerts

9. Fatboy Slim In The Houses Of Parliament (2013)

In 2013, a man called Norman Cook who performs under the name of Fatboy Slim was the opening act to an engineering student from Corby for a gig in the UK's Houses of Parliament. Obviously.

"House the House" was organised by Hove and Portslade MP Mike Weatherley in aid of the Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Foundation, a charity that encourages young people to get involved in local community music schemes. The student in question was Bryce Moore, aka Bryce Fury (it just gets weirder) of the University of Northumbria who won a national competition to play the Terrace Bar at the House of Commons.

Cook is no stranger to odd performance locations, having previously played Sydney's Bondi Beach, The Great Wall of China and an igloo. The show was the first of its kind and was strongly supported by the legendary DJ, commenting "the House of Commons might be the most unique to date... music is a huge part of my life, and to give something back in this way is amazing."

The DJ didn't stop there, later playing a warehouse in Manchester and then a "Baby Loves Disco" show for pre-school children and their parents.
