Speaking about the new shows in a press release, The Prodigy’s Liam Howlett shared: “We never turn down the chance to play the UK and our righteous home Brixton Academy, we will be there armed with a sonically fresh attack. Let it disrupt ya….”
The band earned a four-star review for their “gloriously unhinged, carnivalesque rave-up” performance at this year’s edition of Reading festival with NME sharing: “This is a glossily produced and sensationally life-affirming gig. In Flint’s absence, Maxim carries the show almost entirely himself.”
Howlett previously opened up to NME about what it was like to return to Reading and Leeds without Flint. “After losing Keith we couldn’t even think or talk about the band. I think it was two years after his death that me and Maxim started bringing it up. ‘Could we play live again? Did we even want to? Why? How?’ All that shit.
“We 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.
He went on to say: “That was summer 2022 and here we fucking are: loud and proud!”
The band also paid tribute to late Keith Flint while playing ‘Firestarter’ at Reading. Flint died by suicide on March 4, 2019. He was 49 years old. While performing the track, the band beamed a laser outline of the late singer on stage that moved in time to the music.
