According to the label, the single be “part of a sustained burst of activity” from the band in 2018. So we’re guessing that’s going to involve a tour, more singles and quite probably festival dates.

The deal with BMG sees the band come full circle with the label as their entire song catalogue is published by the company. The Prodigy’s mainman Liam Howlett voiced his enthusiasm, saying in a statement: “Very happy to be joining the BMG family for the next Prodigy album release under my Take Me To The Hospital label, great guys who totally understand our band... Now let’s make some noise.”
The Prodigy have been enjoying hits since 1991 when ‘Charly’ hit number three in the UK charts, and its follow-up, ‘Everybody In The Place’ went one place better. Their third album, 1997’s Fat Of The Land, hit number one in over a dozen countries and contained the UK chart toppers ‘Firestarter’ and ‘Breathe’. Their last album, The Day Is My Enemy, took poll position in the UK album charts upon its release.
