The Prodigy to headline Sunday at Bestival

The Prodigy have been announced as Sunday night headliner at this year's Bestival.

Electro-punk firestarters The Prodigy will be making the Warriors Dance in front of the main stage on Sunday night for what will be their last show on these shores for some time, and so Liam, Maxim and Keith will be pulling out all the stops to deliver an incendiary experience.

Festival organiser Rob Da Bank said, "So, we can finally unveil our Sunday night headliner as Braintree's finest, The Prodigy! Since raving as a young pup to 'Charly' and 'Out of Space' through to caning their new record on my radio show, The Prodigy have been a massive part of my record collection. As far as polishing off the party on Sunday night I can't think of a more explosive finale ... and it's gonna be the last we'll see of them for quite a while on our shores so get in the queue now!"
