Limp Bizkit brought a young fan onto the stage to perform ‘Full Nelson’ during their Reading 2025 set – watch footage below.
Fred Durst and co. played the Main Stage on Saturday evening (August 23) at the festival, shortly before Bring Me The Horizon’s headline show later in the night.
The band picked out a young fan named Brooke from the crowd and brought her onto the stage for their rendition of ‘Full Nelson’ from their 2000 album ‘Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water’.
Brooke enthusiastically told Durst and the crowd that she was from London and then pulled of an impressive back-and-forth on vocals with the singer. Watch footage of the performance here:

Elsewhere in the set, the band played ‘Take A Look Around’ in front of backdrops that showed a range of smiling icons including AI versions of Noel and Liam Gallagher, Billie Eilish, Chris Martin, Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise, the latter of which being an appropriate choice, given that the song debuted on the soundtrack to Mission: Impossible 2.
Top trolling by Limp Bizkit.

Announced all Bring Me The Horizon merch & beer is free during their set.

Other headliners at Reading & Leeds 2025 include Hozier, who made an impassioned and lengthy speech in Reading on Friday in which he spoke out in support of Palestine Action, Kneecap, free speech and equality.
Chappell Roan also played a energetic, hits-packed set on Friday in Reading. In a five-star review, NME wrote: “Throughout the performance, there’s a feeling of camaraderie and community in the crowd. Strangers become new acquaintances, the ‘Hot To Go’ dance unites everyone in clumsily trying to remember the moves and in the right order, and before ‘Red Wine Supernova’, everyone raises pink cowboy hats and pink bandanas aloft. It feels like tens of thousands of like-minded people who’ve all got the same memo and have been brought together with the same intentions.”
Festival organiser Melvin Benn also told NME on site that he has already booked two of the three nights for next year’s instalment of Reading & Leeds.
