Liam Howlett<\/a> and Maxim<\/a> have said: \u201cWe are bringing back our Warriors Dance event for the people next summer. A lot has happened since we last did these, but now more than ever we are takin it to the next level along with the support from the kings of their game. 4 nights of pure ruckus\u2026LET\u2019S GO!!\u201d<\/p>\n

In June,\u00a0the band played an epic, combustible headline set on the Other Stage at Glastonbury 2025<\/a>, a performance they dedicated to their late vocalist Keith Flint.<\/p>\n

After the blistering opener \u2018Voodoo People\u2019,\u00a0Maxim\u00a0addressed the crowd: \u201cThis is the fourth time we have played this festival. There are supposed to be five of us, but six years ago, we lost our brother. This show tonight is dedicated to Mr. Fucking Flint. This is his night!\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the frenetic Other Stage crowd,\u00a0one woman managed to land a picture perfect backflip in the middle of a circle pit<\/a> in a video that later went viral online.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Last year,\u00a0they spoke to\u00a0NME\u00a0about the decision to return to playing live without Flint<\/a>: \u201cAfter losing Keith we couldn\u2019t even think or talk about the band,\u201d Howlett recalled. \u201cI think it was two years after his death that me and Maxim started bringing it up. \u2018Could we play live again? Did we even want to? Why? How?\u2019 All that shit\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe realised the only possible real way to know how we would feel was to do it: get back on stage and do a bunch of gigs. It was so hard to walk onto that stage without our brother, but we really felt the crowd with us. Those gigs were highly emotionally-charged but we came out the other end with our answer\u201d.<\/p>\n

Howlett also hinted at the possibility of new music from the group. \u201cPlaying live fuels the music for me,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s always been that way. If I have too much time off, I start getting distracted and wandering off course. I like to keep it on edge and moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

Explaining what any new music might sound like, he added: \u201cWe have owned our own sound since the start, so we ain\u2019t about to change. It\u2019s all about writing bigger tunes and finding different ways to sonically attack the crowd when we play live.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Prodigy have announced a run of four huge outdoor shows for summer 2026, including a return to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242800,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[29408,96,59,7632,102037,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-242799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-electronic","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-live-music-news","tag-rave","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242799\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
