EXCLUSIVE SCOOP

Get ready for a father-son DJ duo that's got everyone talking! Fatboy Slim, the legendary English DJ, and his 24-year-old son Woody took over Glastonbury Festival with an unforgettable B2B set, leaving fans in awe.

The 61-year-old music icon, whose real name is Norman Cook, marked a major milestone by playing his 100th set at the iconic festival. But what made this performance truly special was the surprise appearance of his son Woody, who brought his own unique energy to the decks.

SPOILER ALERT: An Instagram clip shared by the BBC Radio official account captured the dynamic duo in action, with Fatboy Slim spinning tracks while Woody bounced around a platform like a rockstar. The crowd went wild as the father-son combo delivered an electrifying performance that left everyone begging for more.

But this isn't just a story about a famous DJ and his talented son – it's also a tale of hard work and dedication. In a recent interview with new! magazine, Woody revealed how he "sweated his way through the industry" to make a name for himself in the competitive world of DJing.

"I felt pressure at the beginning, but my parents have been really good at putting me out on my own and letting me do it myself," Woody said. "I've sweated my way through the industry, I think people started to see that."

Despite being a "nepo baby" – a term used to describe children of famous parents who also achieve success in their field – Woody insisted he doesn't let external pressures get to him.

"I don't mind [the nepo baby label]," he said. "I can't tell you who I'd be without my parents. They gave me the best education ever from them. 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."

When asked about how he handles criticism or negativity from others, Woody had a simple answer: "It's not my job to care." He emphasized that his music speaks for itself and that he doesn't need to prove himself to anyone.

THE TEA IS SPILLING: In an interview with Bang Showbiz, Woody dished about how he's always been bullied and struggled with self-acceptance. However, he's found solace in his music and the support of his parents.

"Genetically, I'm mildly similar [to my parents], but it's not my job to care," he said. "I cater to the people who love my music, they f** love it. My music speaks for itself, and I do not have to prove it to anyone."

As Fatboy Slim continues to dominate the DJing scene, it's clear that his son Woody is following in his footsteps – but with a unique style and energy all his own. With this B2B set at Glastonbury, we can expect even more exciting collaborations from this talented father-son duo.
