They could have saved a lot of time and £100 million on the new Mad Max film by simply filming inside the Brighton Centre during The Prodigy’s rabble rousing gig on Tuesday night.

The band oozed post-apocalyptic menace throughout their raucous set with a sound and fury emanating from their incredible stage set-up - resembling seven giant satellites beaming out lights from a desert to contact an alien race - enough to terrify even the most hardened of futuristic bounty hunters.

Prowling the stage with menace all night was Keith Flint, even though he is now beginning to resemble a Matt Lucas impression of himself, and Maxim, who provided a highlight of the night by sneaking into an area for disabled spectators much to the surprise of fans with their backs to him, continually whirling up the crowd towards the prospect of a riot.

New tunes Day Is My Enemy, Wild Frontier and Roadblox proved the band certainly aren’t going soft in their old age while the Arabic textures of Medicine helped shape a new take on Smack My B**** Up.

Such is the strength of the band’s back catalogue that despite leaving Poison, Out Of Space and the criminally underrated Spitfire off their set list, no one went home feeling short changed.
