Glastonbury Festival 2025 fans were over the moon with Fatboy Slim's secret set, with his son Woody Cook joining him on stage
Glastonbury Festival 2025 fans were over the moon as Fatboy Slim took to the stage to perform a secret set. The iconic DJ performed to just a few dozen people, with Fatboy Slim, real name Norman Cook, bringing on his son Woody - who he shares with radio star Zoe Ball.
The 61-year-old DJ brought the energy to the small stage while his son Woody, 24, acted as the hype man and danced and bounced around. Fans were delighted by the set and took to the video shared on Instagram to compliment the father-son duo, with one person writing on Woody's page: "Well done lads."

"You have no idea how much we love you Norman. Yes was on the beach in Brighton over 20 years ago. LEGEND," another huge fan commented.
One said: "What an amazing thing for father and son to do!!" and another questioned: "Why is it not on iplayer?" The 24-year-old son of Fatboy Slim and Zoe Ball recently discussed his family in an interview with OK!
Last month, he revealed he's ready to give back to his 'heroic' mum and dad as he discussed following in his parents' footsteps.
When asked about DJing, he said: "It's beautiful. They say when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. I've always been a storyteller and I never originally wanted to be a DJ, but I loved making music so much. Turns out, DJing is just like telling stories, through sound."
Woody also doesn't mind people comparing him to his parents as he praised the "heroic people". He said: "I can't tell you who I'd be without my parents.
"They gave me the best education ever from them. More than anything, my parents are heroic people. They are the most generous, loving, kind, hard-working people on Earth, and that's what they've given me.
"I feel like I owe it all to that. It doesn't matter who they are in their day-to-day life, they are amazing human beings."
It was a hectic weekend at Glastonbury as Sunday kicked off with Glastonbury bosses slamming Bob Vylan's 'Death to IDF' chants on stage, declaring the punk rap duo had "crossed the line". It comes as police confirmed that they are investigating the footage.

On Sunday afternoon, Rod Stewart performed in the Legends slot after fellow singer Kate Nash lashed out at the legend on Saturday evening.
The rocker earned rave reviews but errors in his set included introducing special guest Lulu before realising she would be joining him on stage later.
He made some surprise comments back in 2023 about retiring, where he said: "I'm not retiring. But I want to move on. I had great success with The Great American Songbook, all-American standards, and I've just done a swing album with Jools Holland, which is going to come out next year, so I want to go in that direction. I just want to leave all the rock 'n' roll stuff behind — for a while, maybe."
