Wooderson!!!! You fucking genius!! I could kiss you right now!!! This has me beaming

I have no idea were my cassette recording of this gig is and if I still have it but now it does not matter. That gig will always be "my Prodigy gig". 14 years old and going ape shit.

This was one of the most played 60 mins of music when I was a teenager... This is nostalgia gold!!

Thank you sir! Thank you!!!

20 years ago chief. A banger of a night.

Asked this in TITP forum but where's that poster/tour dates came from?

I can't find it on their website, Facebook or Twitter

They emailed the dates out to everyone on their mailing list. Presale is at 10am on Monday via the prodigy website. General sale is on Wednesday

Cheers but no use for me as they ain't announced a Scottish date!

Ha ha. As others have answered for me - there are plenty of gigs i very happily go to entirely sober, the prodigy isn't really one of them!

Going back to my original point of a saturday gig over a friday though (for someone who works mon-fri) it's not even really about drinking just winding down from work enough to enjoy it... which is one of the reasons i love glastonbury so much - by the time the main stages start on the friday the real world seems a very distant memory.

This is such a valid point about Glastonbury. It's awesome to have everything those two days first to get out of work mode. Not too keen on midweek gigs for that reason. I go to them anyway but it does taint he enjoyment a tad.

I don't like to enquire smashed at gigs - well most of the time! - but for Prodigy I'd want a few drinks first. Was pretty drunk at their last Brixton gig and that was wicked.

I fly back from a holiday on he Saturday and flights aren't booked yet. Sort of wondering if I could make it... Bloody Ally Pally though.

Pretty impressed you managed to get to the bar enough times in Brixton Academy to get drunk! It's like hell on earth getting a drink in there! I love it and it's just down the road from my house but the bars are always a nightmare I find!

Too many exclamation marks. Apologies. Got excited clearly.

Preloaded mate. That last Brixton gig was a late start and they didn't come on until midnight. Brixton Wetherspoons is your friend.

Seems odd they have missed out Manchester. It's gonna have to be headlining Other or nothing at all from what people are saying. I'd be there for Out of Space, Fire Starter, Smack My Bitch Up and Girls amongst other older tracks. I think they might not come though unless offered a Pyramid slot and as if that will happen

Unless they're doing Parklife and hence under contract not to do a gig only a month beforehand?

Surely The Prodigy are too big for Parklife? They're major festival headliners.

They played WHP which held maybe 5000. I do not think they are too big for a festival which gets maybe 50000 a day.

The prodigy would be a fantastic fit for Parklife

Those WHP gigs were special intimate gigs and they did like 3/4 nights. They're too big for a festival that had Snoop Dogg and Foals headlining last year.

Does seem to be growing, so they might take a punt. Doubt it though.

Is it not the same guy behind Parklife and WHP though? If he managed to persuade them to do the intimate gigs then I reckon he would be able to get them to play Parklife.

Surely they would get a good fee for it and they would rather play at Heaton park rather than do their own gig at the Arena?

Just to add, Snoop is absolutely huge in Manchester, especially in the north of Manchester which seems to have strikingly different taste in music to the south of the city.

    • If you had to come through the fence after coming down the hill if you weren’t already down the hill then you were probably in general. From there the blocks of toilets, showers and water points aren't far at all and to your right is aldi. I know of the lake but apparently it fills up super quick and is noisy and loads of bugs....I got bitten as it was lol. But I joined a solo camp WhatsApp group so followed them.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.
