Legendary electronic punks The Prodigy are set to return to the UK and Ireland in April 2026 with very special guest Carl Cox, stopping at Co-op Live in Manchester on the way. The World Heavyweight Champions re-unite for a tour of straight up ruckus that sees The Prodigy blast through their headline set, performing tracks from across their seven UK number one albums.
The announcement comes just ahead of The Prodigy’s highly anticipated and emotionally charged return to Glastonbury, their first performance at the festival after canceling in 2019 shortly after the sad passing of Keith Flint. This will be their fourth performance at the festival, bringing the weekend to a close on The Other stage on Sunday.
The Prodigy’s Liam Howlett said: “We’re bringin back that full experience of non-stop noise and beats from doors to getting chucked out. It will be that full Prodigy experience as it was then and how it continues to be now… and droppin’ new tunes for the people…
“We’ve got our old friend Carl joining us so expect full attack mode, factor 9… Let’s go!”
Carl Cox is set to join The Prodigy at their Manchester show on Thursday 16th April 2026, and other UK dates, returning to his genre breaking three-deck vinyl setup for a two-hour set from doors each night, so there’ll be no getting bored waiting around for the main event.
Carl Cox added: “I love working with these guys and it’s such a long time since I have. They knew me that last time I was out playing three turntables, and the type of music I was playing was hardcore rave music, so that’s what I’m going to be doing, playing that sort of sound and into the new skool, I’m really looking forward to it, so here we are Carl Cox and The Prodigy back again to rip up the dance floors“.
