The Prodigy will headline one of the UK's most exciting music festivals this summer.

The legendary electro-rockers will take to the Grand Central stage on Sunday, August 13.

This performance will mark The Prodigy's long-awaited return to Winchester, igniting memories of their last appearance in the city back in 1992.

The festival guards the secrecy of its full line-up, with the big reveal happening shortly before the event kicks off.

The surprise unveiling of The Prodigy forms part of Boomtown's 15th anniversary celebrations.

Driven by immense public demand, Boomtown has been persistently pursuing The Prodigy for over a decade.

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 we’ve been able to finally get this nailed down.

"The Prodigy are the most Boomtown band on the planet!”

The rest of the line-up 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.
