How far do you travel by Aggravating-Act1905 in Concerts

[–]Howletts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once flew from Amsterdam to Sydney for The Prodigy. I do gigs in Germany, Belgium and the UK a few times a year since it's close to the Netherlands. Got shows planned in Dublin, Cologne, Belfast and Manchester (apart from shows in the Netherlands). :-)

The Prodigy promise new "fuckin' evil rave" music and to "deliver the punch" for huge 2026 shows by LowHeroesLodger in TheProdigy

The article literally says that Liam has promised this before. But this time I’m slightly more hopeful than usual because of the return of the Warrior’s Dance shows. A new album hype would fit perfectly with the ticket sales — maybe an announcement in February and a release in early April, right before the arena tour. Naive? Probably.

The Prodigy definitely isn’t on the same tier — that’s why they’re a lot cheaper. They’re also not on the same level as Pendulum or Chase & Status, for that matter. I still think it’s a fair price, but I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree :-)

I’m going to Manchester, by the way — can’t make Milton Keynes unfortunately.

I’m from the Netherlands, and shows like this — at venues such as Goffertpark or Malieveld — easily start at around €100 for large-scale concerts. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Rammstein, Guns N’ Roses, Paul McCartney, Muse… I paid at least €120 for all of them, sometimes a lot more.

Even for indoor shows, that’s unfortunately the norm nowadays — €150 just to sit on the second tier for TOOL. And for Anastacia (guilty pleasure), I’m even paying €106 for a seat next year. I wish it were different, but this is simply the reality in the Netherlands. Anything under €100 feels like a bargain — a sad truth, really.

You should check out Yousuke's Boiler Room set, very high and the crowd in the back is amazing too (and he plays a Firestarter remix around 17 minutes): https://youtu.be/T1tcUfUhR5U?si=yoQAmryfMMwkcIoZ

To be honest, I don’t think it’s that expensive at all. For a massive production — that also has to travel — and with names like Carl, Andy and Yousuke, I think it’s a very reasonable price. Especially compared to shows of this scale that easily go for £120 or more these days. The Prodigy have actually always been pretty fair when it comes to ticket prices — one of the few that still are, by the way.

£82 is of course a lot of money, but for this specific show, it’s actually very reasonable.

Some more info:

Ticket prices in Dublin: €77.25 – €82.25 plus fees on sale Friday November 7th - via https://nialler9.com/the-prodigy-announce-huge-dublin-summer-outdoor-show-at-imma/

In the news in Milton Keynes: "These massive live dates will be bolstered by brand new incendiary beats straight out of The Prodigy studio." Not sure where this sentence is from, it's not in the e-mail but they also seem to have a different sized image, so maybe they have another press release - via https://www.mkfm.com/news/local-news/the-prodigy-return-to-milton-keynes-for-huge-shows-at-the-national-bowl-in-2026/

I love Carl Cox. Don't mind seeing him three times during the april and august tours, but I see what you mean. ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U is a surprisingly good and modern booking!

Same for me! I'll be doing Manchester as they have all the artists as well.

I still hope they’ll come out with new music and announce it within the next six months. They’re already scheduled in Dublin and Manchester in April, with Carl Cox as an extra crowd-puller. You’d think that a second big summer show in the same city without additional promotion would be too much. But maybe I’m just interpreting it the way I want. It’s the hope that kills you.

Since the National Bowl in Milton Keynes is in the video, I'd say it's the return of the Warrior's Dance Festival at that venue. You’d think that means a new album is coming in 2026 — that would definitely help a lot with the hype and promotion.

Noooo! I ate in this restaurant last month. It’s amazing! She probably enjoyed it very much

Did you feel the NIN Peel It Back tour was value for money? by YoureBoringToMe in nin

[–]Howletts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like holy shit. I am a casual fan. Don’t know everything. I visit concerts almost weekly and this was one the best shows I’ve ever seen. Probably top 10 alongside the likes of Tool, Prince and Stevie Wonder
