The Prodigy - Reading Festival, 23rd August 2024

The Prodigy - Credit Unknown

Much has been made of the new stage at this year’s festivals. Dubbed ‘The Chevron,’ organisers boast that it features ‘bespoke creative visuals, cutting-edge tech and a world-class sound system.’ Taking all that into account, Melvin Benn and company have chosen the perfect inaugural act on a clear late summer’s night.

Since the passing of Keith Flint five years ago, The Prodigy have been slowly but surely reclaiming their status as giants on the live stage. Essentially, their maxim (ho-ho) has been to continue doing what they do in Keith’s name, but harder. The void left onstage still exists, but Maxim has taken on the extra responsibility respectfully, judging which vocal gaps to fill tastefully while delivering his own lines with customary venom.
