The Prodigy have added two extra dates in Nottingham and Newcastle to their 2025 UK and Ireland arena tour.
The legendary electronic band announced the ‘World Heavyweight Champions Re-unite’ tour last week, with an original run of 10 dates set to take place in April next year in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Leeds, London, Belfast and Dublin.
Now, they have confirmed that due to demand there will be two further dates on the tour – at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on May 1 and Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on May 2.
All dates will feature support from the iconic DJ Carl Cox. Tickets for the original shows are available now and for the new shows they are on sale from 9am on Wednesday (July 2) – you can find yours here.

On Sunday (June 29), the band played an epic, combustible headline set on the Other Stage at Glastonbury 2025, a performance they dedicated to their late vocalist Keith Flint.
After the blistering opener ‘Voodoo People’, Maxim addressed the crowd: “This is the fourth time we have played this festival. There are supposed to be five of us, but six years ago, we lost our brother. This show tonight is dedicated to Mr. Fucking Flint. This is his night!”
Among the frenetic Other Stage crowd, one woman managed to land a picture perfect backflip in the middle of a circle pit in a video that has since gone viral online.
Last year, they spoke to NME about the decision to return to playing live without Flint: “After losing Keith we couldn’t even think or talk about the band,” Howlett recalled. “I think it was two years after his death that me and Maxim started bringing it up. ‘Could we play live again? Did we even want to? Why? How?’ All that shit”.
“We realised the only possible real way to know how we would feel was to do it: get back on stage and do a bunch of gigs. It was so hard to walk onto that stage without our brother, but we really felt the crowd with us. Those gigs were highly emotionally-charged but we came out the other end with our answer”.
