UK PRESS RELEASE: Monday January 16th 2012

 The Prodigy announce Warrior’s Dance Festival 2012

 Kalemegdan Fortress, Belgrade, Serbia 15.09.12

 The Prodigy and special guest Skrillex

 Plus more acts to be announced

The Prodigy are proud to present the next instalment of their ‘Warrior’s Dance Festival’ at Kalemegdan Fortess in Belgrade on September 15th 2012.

Following the success of the inaugural event at Makuhari Messe, Tokyo, back in 2009 to the dizzy heights and rave reviews of 2010’s 65,000 capacity extravaganza at Milton Keynes Bowl, UK, the foundations have firmly been set to take the experience to Eastern Europe and to raise the bar once more for the Serbian people.

Serbia and The Prodigy have a special longstanding relationship which began with the band’s first performance in 1995 to a sold out hungry crowd, creating a story that goes down in urban myth where they were granted the key to the city of Belgrade (which they soon lost!). Invited to play at Serbia’s Exit festival’s 10th anniversary voted for by the Serbian public, 2012 sees the band curate and perform at Warrior’s Dance Festival in Belgrade.

The event will feature an eclectic and innovative bill based around a music policy favouring heavy beats and heavy guitars. Co-promoted by the team behind the prestigious Exit Festival, Warrior’s Dance Festival, promises to provide a spectrum of entertainment and performances across three stages featuring a mighty headline slot from The Prodigy, showcasing new material for 2012 and very special guest Skrillex  - arguably the hottest new act on the planet today! Local support comes in the form of crossover hard-core reggae act Eyesburn, punk rock bands Goblini & Ritam Nereda, electro punk-pop band Lollobrigida and psychedelic electro-rockers Petrol. There will be more acts announced via the website: www.warriorsdancefestival.com/rs

There can be no doubt that ’09 -‘11 belonged to The Prodigy. Their No 1 album ‘Invaders Must Die’ has sold over 1.5 million copies to date and was the most successful independent release of 2009 in Europe. Renowned for their incendiary live performances, the band jetted back and forth across the globe, covering in excess of 200,000 miles to play to 2 million people at 128 gigs in 37 countries. They are currently recording their sixth studio album.
