The Prodigy have played their first live show since the 2019 death of frontman Keith Flint.

The remaining members, Liam Howlett and Maxim performed their first gig of their UK tour in Sheffield last week in tribute to Flint.

The tour - which they previously said is “for Flinty” - began at the O2 Academy in Sheffield last Friday and Saturday and will run throughout the country this month.

“It’s been a long time fucking coming,” Liam Howlett told the crowd ahead of performing the opening track ‘Breathe’ according to Music-News.COM.

While performing their iconic track ‘Firestarter’, The Prodigy paid tribute to Flint by shining a green laser of the frontman on stage that danced along to the music.

The band also played classics including ‘Omen’, ‘Voodoo People’, ‘Smack My Bitch Up’, ‘Take Me To The Hospital’ and ‘Invaders Must Die’.

Ending with a four-song encore, their last song was an instrumental version of ‘Out Of Space’.
