Limp Bizkit Welcomes Young Fan Brooke for ‘Full Nelson’ at Reading 2025

Experience the thrilling moment Limp Bizkit brought fan Brooke onstage for their classic ‘Full Nelson’ during Reading 2025.

If you were anywhere near the Main Stage at Reading Festival 2025 on that electric Saturday night, you witnessed something truly special: Limp Bizkit inviting a young fan named Brooke up to share the spotlight for their iconic track "Full Nelson." Moments like these capture the heart of live music — spontaneous, joyous, and unforgettable.

A Night to Remember: Limp Bizkit at Reading Festival 2025

Limp Bizkit took center stage on August 23, 2025, just before Bring Me The Horizon closed out the night with their headline set. Frontman Fred Durst and his crew delivered a powerful performance packed with nostalgia and crowd-pleasers.

What stood out most was the moment they plucked Brooke from the crowd — a young fan from London — and let her join them for a spirited rendition of "Full Nelson," a fan favorite from their 2000 album Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water. Brooke’s enthusiasm was infectious, and she quickly won over both Durst and the crowd by holding her own in a playful vocal duel with the band’s frontman. It’s moments like these that make festivals more than just concerts; they become lifelong memories.

Iconic Tracks and Playful Backdrops

The energy didn’t stop there. Limp Bizkit also blasted out “Take A Look Around,” a track famously tied to the Mission: Impossible 2 soundtrack. Adding a cheeky twist, the stage backdrop featured AI-generated images of some of music’s biggest icons — including the Gallagher brothers Noel and Liam, Billie Eilish, Chris Martin, Justin Bieber, and even Tom Cruise himself.
