Marking their first appearance in Winchester for over 30 years, The Prodigy’s long-awaited return has been in the works for the past decade, with Boomtown persistently pursuing the iconic band. With their performance at this year’s A Twin Trail event being one of just a select few festivals the group will play this year, their set will no doubt be a performance to remember.
Speaking about the annoucenment, 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.”
