The Prodigy at Glastonbury review: 'band dedicate set to Keith Flint'
Tonight, the maestro behind the music Liam Howlett brought the noise and Maxim proved capable of holding a crowd without his old ally, Flint. After opening with Voodoo People, the energy was up and stayed up throughout songs like Omen, Radiate and Firestarter. The latter was an immediate Glastonbury 2025 highlight, with a sea of people on shoulders, more flares than perhaps any other crowd, and the song remixed without its usual vocal, instead using snatches of Flint's voice as an animation of him played on the screens. 'That went out to our brother, he's here with us tonight,' Maxim said.

And support comes from a two-hour three-deck set from house and techno hero Carl Cox. Liam said: 'We're bringing back that full experience of non-stop noise and beats from doors to getting chucked out. 'It will be that full Prodigy ruckus as it was then and how it continues to be now. 'And droppin' new tunes for the people… we've got our old friend Carl joining us. 'So expect full attack mode, factor 9… Let's go.' The Prodigy will return for their only date announced for Scotland so far on April 15, 2026. The band formed around musician, songwriter and producer Liam, from Braintree, Essex, in 1990. A fixture of underground clubbing, they crossed over with the success of hits Charly and Everybody In The Place the following year before becoming a household name with their second album which shot to number one. Their line-up fluctuated over the years but stabilised around Howlett, rapper Maxim and dancer and vocalist Keith Flint. AMERICAN music icon John Legend was left red-faced after reportedly playing to an 'empty' arena Every album since Music For The Jilted Generation — which featured dancefloor classics Voodoo People and Poison — has hit the top spot. The band have been working on a follow-up to 2018's No Tourists, which was released just months before Flint's death aged 49. Pre-sale tickets are available from 9am on Thursday, with the rest going one sale on Friday from 9am.
