Fatboy Slim has revealed punk legend Iggy Pop will make an appearance on his new album.

Fatboy aka Norman Cook will headline the 02 Wireless Festival

Cook says the Stooges frontman is just one of the vocalists who have laid down some lyrics.

He said: "We've been mates for years. He always comes to see me at shows and I'm like, 'You're Iggy Pop, what are you doing here?'

"So, I've done a track with him and a few others as well."

Fatboy, aka Norman Cook, has been announced as the first headliner of this summer's 02 Wireless Festival in July.

He said: "The album will hopefully be out around July, it's nearly finished."

Iggy is mobbed on stage

However, Fatboy said sadly, there wasn't any chance of Iggy joining him onstage on 5 July.

Stars who've previously worked with Cook include Macy Gray, Damon Albarn and funk legend Bootsy Collins.

Tickets for Wireless go on sale from 18 February.
