Seventeen years is a hell of a long time to make New York wait, but The Prodigy are finally coming back — and they're doing it right. The electronic music legends will kick off CBGB Festival weekend on September 25, 2026, at Under The K Bridge Park in Brooklyn, marking their first NYC show since 2009 *. The band, who've been tearing up stages for 34 years, will bring support from Brutalismus 3000, Sextile, and Lip Critic for what promises to be an absolute banger of a night *.
The Prodigy's return to New York comes after the band fought their way back from tragedy — following the death of Keith Flint in 2019, they returned to performing in July 2022 and have since crushed sets at Coachella, Reading, Leeds, and Isle of Wight *. These guys haven't just been coasting on nostalgia either — they're currently working on new studio material, and their last album "No Tourists" was their seventh consecutive UK number one, a chart dominance streak that goes all the way back to 1997's "Music For The Jilted Generation" *. That's the kind of staying power that separates the legends from the one-hit wonders.
The timing couldn't be more perfect, with the main CBGB Festival going down the next day, September 26, at the same venue, featuring heavyweights like Morrissey, Patti Smith, Interpol, Sex Pistols members, and Bikini Kill *. The festival pays tribute to the legendary CBGB club that was founded in 1973 in Manhattan's East Village — the former location at 315 Bowery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, cementing its status as the birthplace of punk *. If you've been sleeping on getting tickets, wake the hell up.
