Future Entertainment presents
The Prodigy
Touring March 2010
With Does It Offend You Yeah? + Special Guests
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 chart-
topping 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!
Does It Offend You, Yeah?
With their polarising name coming from the hit UK TV series The Office, it’s plain to see that
Does It Offend You, Yeah? aren’t 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 – but “don’t get too close” warns front-man James Rushent, “it could get
dangerous.” New album ‘Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn You’ is due early 2010.

Festival, quickly reaches ‘sold out’ status yet again; Future Entertainment is pleased to
announce that Scottish mega-band and FMF 2010 headliner, Franz Ferdinand, will be
