Palookaville is the fourth studio album by English big beat musician Fatboy Slim, released on 4 October 2004, approximately four years after the previous one. Football club Brighton and Hove Albion F.C. temporarily named their Withdean Stadium after the name of that album following their sponsorship deal with Skint Records.[9] The album was nominated for the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album.[10]
