“To be honest I was uncomfortable about doing the gig in the first place you know. We never wanted to be like the type
of band playing stadiums or whatever. We still love to play Brixton, that’s what we’re about. But people just kept saying
we should do it and I was like ‘we will only do it as our own festival, not a Prodigy gig with a support act.’ So we put
together a good line up of bands and djs ,a cool small second stage ,we even had a tattoo tent doing ant logos … it was a
celebration of twenty years. We wanted to put on a proper day and night for the people like knebworth oasis .
“In a way it was a bit of an accident really. There was never a masterplan to it. We wanted to do something special to
round off the whole Invaders time. You know, that album was a great thing for us. It brought out all of the old skool
fans again and took us to a brand new generation of fans. So we wanted to do something pretty special to leave our mark .
We chose Milton Keynes Bowl in the end ‘cos it reminded us of goin to an old rave , a big green field , it had that energy
to it.
“I’ll never forget the feeling going on stage, it was like… fucking hell. I don’t get nervous at all, I mean we’ve played
to bigger audiences and played bigger festivals but it was like, hang on a minute, these people are here for us… We were a
few songs in before I started to enjoy it . There were lots of emotions involved, there was a twenty-year build up to that
gig. It was almost too much.
“We put a lot into choosing the songs. We wanted to keep the energy going but still wanted to play stuff from every period
of The Prodigy. People would expect stuff like ‘Firestarter’ and what have you, but we wanted a few surprises in there too.
We did ‘Weather Experience’ and had those lasers in the show as a respect back to the early rave era.
“That day was very special and we’re proud of it “
