DJ Fatboy Slim has said one of the world’s most famous music festivals is becoming “more middle class” and is “less dangerous” than it used to be.

Norman Cook, who lives in Hove, has been a regular performer at Glastonbury Festival for nearly 20 years.

He told NME magazine: “It’s better organised every year and less chaotic, it’s more middle class, it’s less dangerous. It used to be quite a hairy place to be at times. I think sometimes, the big headline acts – they’ve kind of run out.

“You know, once they’ve got Springsteen and the Rolling Stones, they almost got Prince then he died.”
