Established Luxembourg music venue and promoter, den Atelier, has announced that tickets for The Prodigy’s concert at Rockhal in Esch-Belvaux on 17 November will go on sale this Friday, 29 May at 10:30.

For the last twenty-five years or so, The Prodigy has cut a solitary path through the noise-scapes of electronic dance music. Liam Howlett, Keef Flint and Maxim have dropped five epoch-defining studio albums, including 2009’s world dominating “Invaders Must Die”, and delivered unforgettable live performances that have taken electronic beats into unchartered territory.

Throughout this time the trio has remained resolutely focused on their own vision, inspiring legions of artists along the way. No one would blame them then if they cashed in on their legend and produced an album of American-friendly EDM mainstream beats at this stage of their careers as a well-earned pension plan, but it’s just not in their nature.

Anyone expecting a sell-out for their sixth album, obviously doesn’t understand The Prodigy’s oppositional ideology. “The Day Is My Enemy” pushes at the edges of expectation with the unbridled fervour of a bunch of teenage car thieves hot wiring the fastest motor they can find. “The Day Is My Enemy” is no mainstream joyride.  It is The Prodigy turned up to the maximum, lights tuned low and ram-raiding the back doors of popular culture.

Doors will open at 19:00.

Tickets will be available from the Atelier’s website at http://www.atelier.lu/Upcoming-Shows/The-Prodigy.
