A LEGENDARY electronic band has announced a massive Scottish gig next year.<\/p>\n

Firestarter hitmakers The Prodigy are \u201ccalling all participants of noise and chaos\u201d to join them for the 13,000-capacity show<\/a> at Glasgow\u2019s OVO Hydro arena.<\/p>\n

Leader Liam Howlett, 53, and MC Maxim, 58, are returning three decades after the release of their seminal breakthrough record<\/a> Music For The Jilted Generation.<\/p>\n

And support comes from a two-hour three-deck set from house<\/a> and techno hero Carl Cox.<\/p>\n

Liam said: \u201cWe\u2019re bringing back that full experience of non-stop noise and beats from doors to getting chucked out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be that full Prodigy ruckus as it was then and how it continues to be now.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd droppin\u2019 new tunes for the people\u2026 we\u2019ve got our old friend Carl joining us.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo expect full attack<\/a> mode, factor 9\u2026 Let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Prodigy will return for their only date announced for Scotland<\/a> so far on April 15, 2026.<\/p>\n

The band formed around musician, songwriter and producer Liam, from Braintree, Essex<\/a>, in 1990.<\/p>\n

A fixture of underground clubbing<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

Their line-up fluctuated over the years but stabilised around Howlett, rapper<\/a> Maxim and dancer and vocalist Keith Flint.<\/p>\n

AMERICAN music icon John Legend was left red-faced after reportedly playing to an ’empty’ arena<\/p>\n

Every album since Music For The Jilted Generation \u2014 which featured dancefloor classics Voodoo People and Poison<\/a> \u2014 has hit the top spot.<\/p>\n

The band have been working on a follow-up to 2018\u2019s No Tourists, which was released just months before Flint\u2019s death<\/a> aged 49.<\/p>\n

Pre-sale tickets<\/a> are available from 9am on Thursday, with the rest going one sale on Friday from 9am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A LEGENDARY electronic band has announced a massive Scottish gig next year.
