The Prodigy Fanboy – Liam Howlett Keith Flint & Maxim.

Liam Howlett

So, Liam has a little neat interview with NME about the upcoming Download Festival. Which pretty much confirms a new track at Download to be dropped. However that could be AWOL or Dogbite. Also, the working album title is “How To Steal A Jet Fighter”.  Like the sound of the title? Let us know. Enjoy the interview!

Liam Howlett’s ready to go toe-to-toe with Sabbath

NME: Do you comfortable playing a metal festival like Download, Liam?

“Yeah man. Download, the fans, they’re not there to fuck about. People are into loud, uncompromising shit.”

Are you looking forward to seeing the likes of Metallica and Sabbath…?

“Nah. I won’t be staying. I won’t hang around.”

Will there be new songs?

“The idea is that we’ll turn up at Download playing some new shit. But playing festivals helps with the music. I’m best if you pull me offstage and throw me right in the studio, otherwise you’re not thinking about where the music is going to end up. I’m into the idea of sticking something out, just a track. Just something to remind people we’re still around. But nothing’s set in stone.”

How’s it sounding?

“We’re really excited about it. The last record was… kind of a party album, I guess. We were all happy to be back together again. But the best tunes on that album are the ones that have less of that. It’s definitely going heavier, darker. The title we’re working with is ‘How To Steal A Jet Fighter’. But that might change. Who knows?”

Happy Birthday Maxim Reality

G’day fellow Fanboys! Finally back from vacation. Had a nice holiday break!

Didn’t check my email at all and ended up with just over 200 messages and also missed some Prodigy news. Last night I caught up with some news and have yet to contact everyone who has contacted us via Contact Form, Facebook and Twitter. I will do so when I can.

Anyhow, the boys are back on tour in about a months time. Quite a few new tour dates have been announced and you can checkout the gig list here. Seems to be Europe for now. Also most likely the boys will be unleashing new beats! Good times :)

Anyone who is heading out to the upcoming gigs, feel free to send us your review, videos, pictures, audio and so on.

Most important, our favourite MC turned 45 years old on March 21st!

Maxim, we know you’ll be reading this mate. So The Prodigy Fanboy community, MartinProdigy, ET and I wish you a happy birthday. Hope you had a great day mate!

I have no idea how you do it, you put your voice out at every gig and always deliver! We love your vibe! and appreciated it very much.

I will never forget the first words I heard you say live “Where the fuck is Melbourne!” Haha.

Sonne Mond Sterne Festival

This news is yet to be confirmed on the Official The Prodigy Website. However if you head over to sonnemondsterne.de you’ll notice the boys are set to headline the festival.

So hopefully we’ll be hearing some of the new beats over in Germany, lucky bustards!

Other acts at the festival include Fatboy Slim, Skillex and so on.

3rd Milton Keynes Festival

If you head over to the Warriors Dance Festival website. You will find a graphic showing 3 boxes.

The first box has the Japanese flag, the 2nd has the English flag. The 3rd, is empty!

So this looks like a teaser, that there will be a 3rd Warriors Dance Festival.

Who will be the lucky country? I’m hoping for Australia!

Liam Howlett AONO

Hello Fanboys, in the lates blog post by the boys. They announced a new tour date for 2012 and which will be the only UK date that year, Download Festival.

The boys did confirm that new songs will be played at the festival! This is going to be a big one, the only UK gig for 2012? Damn all of Prodigy fans will be there!

However, also in the blog post. Came even better news. New album is due later 2012! I was not expecting that! I would have guessed early 2013.

Anyhow, here is the blog post in it’s entirety:
we have chosen to headline download festival as our only uk festival show next year and will be playin some new songs for the first time from our next album due later 2012 …….. see you there Liam, Keef & Maxim

The Prodigy will headline the main stage on Friday 8th June. Tickets available from www.downloadfestival.co.uk

Thanks to everyone who sent this in! Too many too mention.

UPDATE: James Malley from our Facebook Page noticed first that the boys do say Festival. That doesn’t mean they won’t be doing any actual gigs on their own in the UK. However don’t take our word for it. If you can get Download Festival tickets, get them. Then wait and see if anything else gets announced in the near future.

São Paulo, Brazil

The dark era has begun! The boys have updated their official gigs page with a new date:

10th Dec – XXXperience Festival – São Paulo, Brazil

You Brazil fans are lucky. Hopefully we hear some new beats! Should be good. What do you guys think? New beats or same set list?
