Fatboy Slim's son Woody following in his dad's footsteps and performing at Glastonbury

Eat, sleep, rave... and then your kids can repeat.

Fatboy Slim’s son Woody Cook is following in his dad’s footsteps and performing at Glastonbury.

The event will mark 22 years since the 21-year-old first attended the festival - in mum Zoe Ball’s stomach, before he was born.

“I’ve not shut up about it for three years to all my mates,” laughs arts student Woody, who signed up for the cancelled 2020 event.

Although dad - whose real name is Norman Cook - still needs to teach him some Glastonbury etiquette...

“Last Glastonbury, he got really angry because I turned up to one of his sets, not the other one,” says the Gogglebox and The Circle star.

“He went: ‘Woody, if someone gets you tickets to a festival, you have to turn up to their set. It’s common curtesy.’

“I thought because I saw him on the Thursday I could go and see Tame Impala and Stormzy on Friday. What a clash...”

Woody attended the Vanity Fair EE Rising Star Party at London’s Soho House ahead this month’s BAFTA ceremony, where guests included previous Rising Star winner Bukky Bakray and current nominee, A Quiet Place star Millicent Simmonds.

In June, EE will also help Glastonbury goers power their phones, which means Woody will be able to tune into mum’s Radio 2 broadcast, which he admits can feel “surreal” down on Worthy Farm, where Billie Eilish and Sir Paul McCartney will headline.

Woody recalls: “I remember waking up in a tent, having seen my dad play the night before, and turning on my phone to hear my mum on the radio saying: ‘Good morning Glastonbury!’ My life is a movie.”
