The Prodigy has announced that they’re heading out on a massive UK arena tour later this year.
And here in Leeds, we’ll be seeing the duo in November.
The Essex-founded electronic music duo are set to pay us a visit as part of their seven-date Army of the Ants Tour this November.
Hot off the back of playing to tens of thousands of music lovers in the fields of Manchester’s Heaton Park during a headline slot at this year’s edition of Parklife festival this past weekend, The Prodigy has thrilled fans by announcing today that they’re set to play a handful of big gigs at major UK arenas before 2023 is out, reports The Manc.
Liam H and Maxim will be back on arena stages after their smaller July 2022 headline tour – which the first without their late bandmate and brother, Keith Flint – was met with huge love and support from thousands of fans nationwide.
The autumn 2023 tour also comes after the band’s run of international festival headline dates, which is currently underway and already going down a real treat.
The pair say they’re “looking forward to bringing the fire back” to key UK cities once again.
Kicking-off in the Scottish capital of Glasgow on 16 November, the band will then hit up major venues in English cities such as Leeds, Brighton, and Birmingham, as well as the Welsh capital of Cardiff, and, of course, here at the AO Arena in Manchester, all before the tour draws to a close at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace on 24 November.
The Prodigy will have Leeds crowds dancing the night away when they take to the stage on Saturday 18 November.
