The Prodigy Announce Massive ‘Warriors Dance’ UK & Ireland Outdoor Shows for Summer 2026

Get ready for an electrifying summer with The Prodigy's Warriors Dance outdoor shows, featuring iconic DJs and epic venues across the UK and Ireland.

The Prodigy Returns with Epic Outdoor Shows in 2026

If you thought The Prodigy had nothing left to surprise us with, think again. The legendary electronic powerhouse has just announced a sensational series of four outdoor shows for summer 2026, including a much-anticipated return to the Milton Keynes Bowl. For fans like me who've followed their adrenaline-fueled journeys over the decades, this news is nothing short of thrilling.

The band’s presence is already felt strong with a sold-out UK and Ireland arena tour slated for April and May, covering 12 dates, including two massive nights at Wembley Arena. But this Warriors Dance series takes things outdoors, promising a festival-like atmosphere in some of the UK’s and Ireland’s most iconic venues.

Where and When: The Warriors Dance Dates to Bookmark

This summer, The Prodigy will light up the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin on August 20, then shake the Milton Keynes Bowl on August 22, followed by Edinburgh’s Royal Highland Showgrounds on August 29, and close out the run at Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park on August 30.

These outdoor shows are shaping up to be monumental celebrations of The Prodigy’s indomitable spirit and their relentless energy. And they’ve pulled out all the stops for the supporting acts.

Star-Studded Lineup: DJs and Artists Joining the Party

Sharing the stage with The Prodigy are some of electronic music’s finest legends. The iconic Carl Cox and the incomparable David Rodigan will be spinning across all four shows. Adding to the drum and bass flavor, Andy C will electrify the crowds at the Milton Keynes and Manchester dates.

But that’s not all. Japanese producer ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U and British trap metal artist SCARLXRD will also bring their unique sonic styles to the Milton Keynes, Manchester, and Edinburgh shows, making this a truly eclectic and immersive experience.

This lineup hints at a wild, genre-bending journey that’s as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.

Tickets and What the Band Has to Say

Excited? Tickets for this summer’s outdoor extravaganza go on pre-sale at 9 am Wednesday, November 5, with general sale following on Friday, November 7. If you want in, it’s best to act fast.

Liam Howlett and Maxim, the driving forces behind the band, summed it up perfectly:

“We are bringing back our Warriors Dance event for the people next summer. A lot has happened since we last did these, but now more than ever we are takin it to the next level along with the support from the kings of their game. 4 nights of pure ruckus…LET’S GO!!”

Their enthusiasm is contagious, and as a longtime fan, I can’t wait to dive into what promises to be four nights of sonic mayhem.

Looking Back: The Prodigy's Emotional Glastonbury 2025 Set

The Prodigy’s journey since the loss of their iconic vocalist Keith Flint has been one of resilience and catharsis. In June 2025, they delivered an epic, combustible headline set on Glastonbury’s Other Stage, a performance dedicated to Flint’s memory.

Opening with the blistering ‘Voodoo People,’ Maxim addressed the crowd with heartfelt words:

“This is the fourth time we have played this festival. There are supposed to be five of us, but six years ago, we lost our brother. This show tonight is dedicated to Mr. Fucking Flint. This is his night!”

The crowd’s energy was electric, and a viral moment captured a woman landing a perfect backflip right in the middle of a circle pit, perfectly symbolizing the wild spirit of that night.

The Return to Live: How The Prodigy Found Their Way Back

Watching The Prodigy perform without Keith Flint was always going to be a monumental challenge. Liam Howlett once shared their emotional journey of returning to the stage:

“After losing Keith we couldn’t even think or talk about the band. I think it was two years after his death that me and Maxim started bringing it up. ‘Could we play live again? Did we even want to? Why? How?’ All that shit.”

They eventually realized the only way to find their answer was by doing it—getting back on stage, facing the crowd, and pouring their hearts out. Those first gigs were heavy with emotion but also healing, and they emerged with renewed purpose.

Playing live fuels Liam’s creative fire, and he hinted at the possibility of new music from The Prodigy:

“We have owned our own sound since the start, so we ain’t about to change. It’s all about writing bigger tunes and finding different ways to sonically attack the crowd when we play live.”

That promise alone makes these upcoming shows even more exciting — a fusion of classic energy with fresh, fierce creativity.

Wrapping Up: The Summer to Remember

Whether you’ve been a fan since the rave days or discovered The Prodigy more recently, these Warriors Dance outdoor shows are shaping up to be an unforgettable chapter in the band’s stormy legacy. With a stellar lineup, legendary venues, and the band’s own rekindled fire, summer 2026 is looking like one for the books.
