THE PRODIGY, ALBUM DROPPING LATE '12...

The Prodigy have been at work on a follow-up to Invaders Must Die since 2010, and an end to the hard work is in sight. While up till now the group has been vague about when to expect its sixth studio album, it’s definitely coming in 2012 (if you can hold Liam Howlett to his word).

In a Facebook post last night, The Prodigy announced it's only UK festival show for 2012 – and they haven’t gone with one of the flagship dance weekenders like Global Gathering or Creamfields. Instead, they'll take the stage as Friday night headliners of grizzled rock festival Download (the other headliners are Metallica and reunited relics Black Sabbath), "playin some new songs for the first time from our next album due later 2012".

So, have The Prodigy still got a definitive album in them? While we await the verdict, fans can busy themselves with World's On Fire, the band's live album and DVD released this year. There's no denying their power onstage, so let's hope that's channelled into album number six...

THE PRODIGY WORLD'S ON FIRE...

The Prodigy’s epic Warrior’s Dance Festival gig at the Milton Keynes Bowl from July 2010 has been immortalised a film, World’s On Fire, that will be shown at cinemas across the UK for one night only on 31st March 2011 (locations will be revealed at www.theprodigy.com)

The film will be shown in over 70 cinemas, with audio mixed in 5.1 surround sound by Liam Howlett for a truly immersive experience, and it was directed by award-winning documentary maker Paul Dugdale – with heavy input from the band. The screening will also include a previously unseen short film of life on the road during their Invaders Must Die tour in Brazil.

“A lot of thought went into the place where we could throw the best party” the band say of the gig. “We never wanted the typical stadium venue so Milton Keynes Bowl was perfect for our own Warrior’s Dance Festival coz it felt like a mad party in a field. The night was massive for us. It was important to us to bring a proper festival day and night for the people to remember and bring the same intense atmosphere like when we play Brixton Academy.... and it was. Standing on that stage was a truly triumphant feeling for us as the whole place kicked off, we looked out and we were fuckin proud”.
