So, The Prodigy are almost about to begin their new tour for their upcoming 6th studio album: The Day Is My Enemy.
Man, the boys have such an incredible library of amazing tracks. They have the most difficult task of putting together the set list for this tour. What will they do? Will tracks become shorter? Will some tracks get dropped? Will the set become longer?
It should be very interesting when the boys tour Australia. The first show in Sydney, we will get our first idea of what the set will be like and what fans around the world might hear at other gigs.
We recently interviewed Liam, in regards to the setlist for the Australian tour:
Danny Fanboy: The Prodigy are back in Australia! This time to drop the new beats from The Day Is My Enemy. With such a huge set of existing amazing tracks, how challenging has / or will it be to put together a set list for Future Music Festival? How many of the new tracks are the fans likely to hear live in Australia prior to March 30th? Will the set increase, will some of the older tracks be dropped to make room, or will tracks be edited sorter?
Liam Howlett: WE WANT TO PLAY 7 OR 8 NEW TUNES FROM THE RECORD , OF COURSE WE WILL HAVE TO LOSE SOME , LIKE JETFIGHTER , AWOL (FOR NOW) ,, GOT TO KEEP IT FRESH FOR US , FEELS LIKE WE HAVE PLAYED THE SAME TUNES FOR AGES SO ITS ABOUT TIME TO BUST OUT THE NEW SHIT . IM STILL WRITING , SO BEATS WILL ALWAYS GET DROPPED THAT MAY NEVER GET RELEASED , THATS THE BUZZ OF IT

So, from Liam’s answer. We have the following:
- 7-8 new tracks.
- Jetfighter, AWOL dropped.
- New beats that not on album.
We have been talking about the setlist here on Fanboy Forum: http://theprodigyfanboy.com/forum/general-prodigy-talk/live-setlist-talk/
If we look at the setlist, it’s something like this…
- New Intro
- AWOL Beat Jam
- Jetfighter
- Filler Discontent
- Breathe
- Omen
- Rockweiler
- Poison
- Thunder
- Voodoo People
- AWOL Edit
- Firestarter
- Run with the Wolves
- Get Your Fight On
- Spitfast
- Omen Reprise
- Invaders Must Die
- Smack My Bitch Up
- Take Me To The Hospital
- New Beats
- Their Law
- Hyperspeed
- Commanche
So, from I think may happen now. If we make cuts first. It will look like this. Ps, this is just my opinion.
- Intro
- BLANK
- BLANK
- BLANK
- Breathe
- Omen
- Rockweiler
- Poison
- Thunder
- Voodoo People
- BLANK
- Firestarter
- Run with the Wolves
- Get Your Fight On
- BLANK
- Omen Reprise
- Invaders Must Die
- Smack My Bitch Up
- Take Me To The Hospital
- BLANK
- Their Law
- Hyperspeed
- Commanche
Without cutting out Hyperspeed and Commanche. Which I think might go as well. We still have Rockweiler, Get You Fight On and 6 blank. So if the last two get dropped as well. That makes it 8.
Anyhow, this is just me rumbling on… Just my two cents… What do you all think? Tell us on Fanboy Forum here: http://theprodigyfanboy.com/forum/general-prodigy-talk/live-setlist-talk/
