All signs are pointing to The Prodigy announcing an Australian tour very soon.
This week, eager-eyed fans of the British electronic dance/industrial rock band reported spotting billboards and stickers of one of the group’s old-school logos.
From 1995 to 2000, The Prodigy used an emblem featuring an image of an ant. In some years, the ant appeared inside a circle, with and without the band name beside it.
The band previously said the ant represented their idea of themselves: “small and mighty.” Now, that ant logo has started appearing around the country within a circle on a yellow backdrop.
A punter posted on the triple j Reddit after spotting a billboard of the Prodigy logo in Melbourne and asked if there’s an Australian tour announcement on the way. On the Prodigy Reddit, someone else spotted a sticker on the ground in Newtown, Sydney, with the logo and “2025” written underneath.
Yesterday, Astral People—the artist management and touring company based in Sydney—shared a reel on Instagram showing cars driving past the logo.

Astral People captioned the video with the eyeballs looking over suspiciously emoji. The company recently announced tours and one-off shows for Miss Kaninna, DJ Heartstring, Sainté, Cosmo’s Midnight, and more, so it’s fair to say that a tour (or festival) announcement from The Prodigy is very likely on the way. Stay tuned for more information.
The Prodigy last toured Australia in February 2019, just a month before vocalist and dancer Keith Flint passed away. After announcing that the band would continue in August 2020, The Prodigy has gone on with original members Maxim (MC and vocalist, pictured above) and multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Liam Howlett.
In a live review of the band’s show at Perth’s RAC Arena, The Music’s Mark Beresford wrote, “Firmly holding a middle finger to anyone labelling them a nostalgia act, the group proved their explosive energy remains as fierce and fresh as ever.” Beresford later remarked, “The Prodigy proved why they’re still one of the greatest live acts going around.”
Last June, The Prodigy revealed that they would go on to “ignite, uplift and destroy,” just like they did before Keith Flint's passing. Confirming that they would go on after playing their first shows following Flint’s passing (those shows took place in July 2022), the band embarked on their Army Of The Ants tour.
This year, The Prodigy have enjoyed a successful European festival season.
Been seeing these floor posters around parts of Sydney recently, can't find any info on them whatsoever
