The Prodigy have announced they will play the Brighton Centre in May.

The pioneering dance act - whose 1990s albums Music For The Jilted Generation and The Fat Of The Land are now regarded as genre-busting classics - will play the Kings Road venue on Tuesday, May 12.

Based around songwriter Liam Howlett and vocalists Keith Flint and Maxim, The Prodigy will return on Monday, February 9, with new single Nasty.

It heralds the trio’s first album in more than five years, The Day Is My Enemy, which will be released through their own label Take Me To The Hospital and Cooking Vinyl on Monday, March 30.

Talking about their fifth album Howlett said: “I can’t tell you why this record came out so angry, I think it’s just in-built in me.

“It’s more about what I like music to do. I’ve always seen music I like as a form of attack.

“I didn’t plan this album to sound violent, it’s just the sound that came out of the studio, a kind of build-up over the last four years.

“The tension is buried deep in the music right from the first drop. It’s all about the sound having that sense of danger. That’s what The Prodigy sound is about.”
