Today, it officially confirms the band will play. Characteristically, Boomtown has teased the announcement on social media for weeks, in its playful, theatrical fashion, with videos claiming to have received interference from out of space.
Boomtown co-founder, Luke Mitchell said: “The Prodigy’s energy, immense production value, and influence in the rave scene make them the perfect match for Boomtown, and I’m over the moon that we’ve been able to finally get this nailed down and can now share the exciting news. The Prodigy are the most Boomtown band on the planet.”
The rest of the lineup will remain a surprise, with this announcement providing ticket holders a feel for what to expect at Boomtown Chapter Two: The Twin Trail this August in the South Downs National Park.
