Fatboy Slim says he has “never been paid” to perform at Glastonbury, despite appearing at the festival more than 100 times. He describes Glastonbury as a unique cultural experience, calling it “the most fun, forward-thinking, beautiful human experience of alternative culture.”
Both sources report that the DJ has repeatedly expressed a strong personal attachment to the Worthy Farm event. The Independent and NME frame the comments as part of his long-running public appreciation for the festival, rather than focusing on any specific performance or payment dispute. The outlets do not present figures or documentation for the claim, and the reporting centers on his own statement and his extensive history at Glastonbury.
