Formed in Essex in 1990 by Liam Howlett, The Prodigy emerged from the UK rave scene. With early hits like Charly and Everybody in the Place, their standout albums—the debut Experience (1992) and Music for the Jilted Generation (1994)—defined the big beat movement in the UK.

Their 1997 album The Fat of the Land, featuring the explosive singles “Firestarter” and “Smack My Bitch Up,” delivered global success: topping charts in multiple countries and fuelling their hard-edged, confrontational aesthetic.

Keith Flint—initially a dancer turned frontman—became the iconic face of the band. His electrifying stage presence, punk attitude, and signature look were integral to their identity. His passing in 2019 at age 49 was a profound moment for fans and the music world alike.

A long-awaited album is reportedly underway. Howlett and the band debuted new tracks during live shows, and confirmed on social media that an official release is expected soon—possibly following the current touring cycle.

Howlett has also expressed ambition for the band to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, citing pride in their impact and legacy—especially after conquering global success with The Fat of the Land .
