Liam Howlett has shared that his late bandmate Keith Flint will always remain “deeply ingrained” in The Prodigy’s music, as he confirmed that brand-new songs are coming in 2026.
Keith, the Firestarter frontman, passed away in 2019 at age 49. Since then, his bandmates Liam, 54, and Maxim, 58, have continued the group’s legacy.
The Prodigy have not released an album since 2018’s No Tourists, but the band had started working on a follow-up before Keith’s death. The new release is expected to serve as a tribute to him.
When asked for an update, Liam hinted that the fresh material “sounds like f*****’ evil rave.”
He told NME, “Before, I described our sound as ‘evil rave.’ This time, the new tunes sound like ‘f*****’ evil rave.’”
Liam also said Keith’s creative presence will always live on in their music.
“Keef will forever be deeply ingrained in The Prodigy sound,” he said. “People will feel that when they hear our new music. When I’m writing beats in the studio, he’s always there in my mind, punching the air, spittin’ and snarlin’ in the background.”
When fans can expect to hear it, he teased, “New Prodigy music will be heard next year.”
Liam had previously shared that Keith’s energy “will be felt in the music and through us on stage.”
Speaking about their first tour without him in 2022, he told NME, “We really felt the crowd were there to support us and give us the energy back, and we are eternally grateful for that. It was highly emotional and very special. Flinty will never leave us; he is embedded deep in the soul of this band, and his energy will be felt in the music and through us onstage. That’s what I know and feel.”
Looking ahead, Liam promised that The Prodigy’s fire will keep burning.
“As for the future, The Prodigy is bigger than just the band: it stands for something, the people know this, we know this… even more after playing live again. I’m energised by that, and we are back in the studio writing new tunes. The Prodigy will continue to ignite, uplift, and destroy just as we always did.”
Next year, the group will also return with a series of massive outdoor Warrior Dance shows.
They will play the Milton Keynes Bowl—where they staged their own version of “Oasis at Knebworth” back in 2010—on August 22.
The Omen hitmakers will also perform at Dublin’s Irish Museum of Modern Art on August 20, Edinburgh’s Royal Highland Showgrounds on August 29, and Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park on August 30.
Supporting acts include DJs Carl Cox and David Rodigan, while Andy C will appear at the Milton Keynes and Manchester dates. Japanese artist ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U and trap metal performer SCARLXRD will join all stops except Dublin.
