The firestarters will be returning five years after the tragic passing of the group’s vocalist Keith Flint, a shock that came just weeks after they toured the country. Whilst Flint’s absence will be apparent, the follow group members under the banner of the ‘Godfathers of Rave’, Liam Howlett and Maxim will continue to honour Flint, armed with their seven seminal albums and boundary pushing live shows.
Across three decades the rave makers have set themselves up as legends of the genre and within the music industry, thanks to pioneering the big beat genre and blending elements of rave, techno and industrial music. The group, initially featuring vocalist Keith Flint and MC Maxim, gained international acclaim with their debut album, Experience (1992). Their breakthrough came with the album Music for the Jilted Generation (1994), which showcased their innovative sound and rebellious spirit. The Prodigy’s third album, The Fat of the Land (1997), solidified their status as electronic music legends, featuring hits like ‘Firestarter’ and ‘Breathe’, and topping charts worldwide with tracks going on to feature in movies and television including Yellowjackets, the Charlie’s Angels franchise and Misfits.
Over the years, The Prodigy has continued to evolve their sound while maintaining a raw, energetic edge. They have released several successful albums, including Invaders Must Die (2009) and The Day Is My Enemy (2015), further cementing their influence on the electronic music scene. Known for their electrifying live performances, The Prodigy has headlined major festivals such as Glastonbury and Coachella and won many awards during the span of their career including 2x Grammy Award nominations, 2x Brit Awards for Best British Dance Act, 3x MTV Video Music Awards, 2x Kerrang! Awards and 5x MTV Europe Music Awards.
Despite the tragic loss of Keith Flint in 2019, Liam Howlett and Maxim returned to the stage again in 2022 pushing the boundaries with their live show once again headlining festivals around the world with a fitting tribute to Keith during ‘Firestarter’. They remain as one of the most successful electronic groups of all time, selling an estimated 25 million records worldwide and seven consecutive #1 albums in the UK.
These upcoming shows will continue to honour their legacy and celebrate their music evolution.
