THE PRODIGY

Start Date: Thursday, 11 March 2010
Start Date: Thursday, 11 March 2010
Web: http://www.futureentertainment.com.au
Admission: $91.30 standing only All ages 15+
Event Type: Concerts
Description:

As the award-winning Future Music Festival rapidly approaches ‘sold-out’ status for yet another year, Future Entertainment is pleased to announce that legends of the early underground rave scene and big beat icons, The Prodigy, will be bringing the legendary noise, colour and excitement of their explosive LIVE performance at an exclusive FMF side show …

Since emerging from the UK’s underground rave scene in the early 1990s, The Prodigy have established themselves as one of the most dominant, dynamic and revered electronic acts of all time. Pioneers of the big beat genre, their unique mixture of Rave, Hardcore, Industrial and Breakbeat sounds, has seen them consistently captivate the planet’s electronic faithful and, in turn, sell more albums than any other dance music artist in history. From giving birth to iconic tracks like ‘Firestarter’, ‘Voodoo People’, ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ and ‘Breathe’ to forging charttopping albums like ‘Music For The Jilted Generation’, ‘Fat Of The Land’ and 2009’s ‘Invaders Must Die’; The Prodigy are an explosive sonic voice for an entire generation of clubbers, ravers, punks and rockers worldwide whose live shows are the stuff of legend.

UK’s Does It Offend You Yeah? are not your average cup of Earl Grey. The quartet has enjoyed a meteoric rise on the back of their debut album ‘You Don’t Know What You’re Getting Yourself Into’. Touted by Rolling Stone as “an obnoxious, dizzying, perfectly-of-the-moment blend of Daft Punk, Justice and Rage Against the Machine” DIOYY are renowned for their notoriously rowdy live shows and are set to cause a rawkus when they hit the stage in supports of The Prodigy at these solo shows!

It was in 1959 that Sir Cliff Richard first recorded and performed with The Shadows. In 2009, exactly 50 years later, Cliff and The Shadows will be back on the road for their final tour.

The tour will bring them to Australia and New Zealand in February / March of 2010 for the very first time, as a group, since 1961.

Cliff and The Shadows dominated the British popular music scene in the late 50's and early 60's, enjoying both solo and joint success. Between them they achieved no less than 19 No.1 hits, including; 'Living Doll', 'It's All In The Game', 'Travellin Light', 'Bachelor Boy', 'Wonderful Land' and 'Apache'. They appeared together in the movies 'Summer Holiday' and 'The Young Ones' from which came million-selling hit singles and albums.

From 1968 both artists pursued individual careers. Throughout the 70's and 80's The Shadows toured regularly and enjoyed Top 10 successes, often competing with Cliff for the number one spot. Cliff went on to achieve huge worldwide success as a solo artist, scoring the most Top 10 and Top 20 hits in the UK singles Chart. He remains the only UK artist ever to achieve a Number 1 single in five consecutive decades!

50 years on Cliff Richard, Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett take to the stage together for the very last time on this tour. Don't miss it!
