Bringing together raves and metalheads to honour both their past and their present.
The “Godfathers of Rave” aka Liam Howlett, Keith Flint, and Maxim have solidified their status as legends in the music industry with a career spanning over three decades. The Prodigy are renowned for pioneering the big beat genre, 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.
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.
