Review by Glenn van den Bosch, www.strifemag.com:
Jera On Air‘s special 30th birthday extravaganza came to a close a bit earlier than the previous days, which makes sense on a Sunday night. I do not think there are many festival attendees who did not take off work the next day, but for those for whom the grind starts again on Monday morning, a cut-off time of 23:00 is rather considerate.
The Prodigy‘s headliner show was a dynamic spectacle that left a lasting impression on the audience. From the moment they took the stage, the energy was intense, despite minimal use of lighting effects. The focus was on their powerful performance and the cool stage set-up, which featured an array of equipment, large screens, and an assortment of The Prodigy flags that added a unique visual element to the show.
The crowd erupted in excitement as soon as the opening beats of Firestarter hit. The familiar riffs and aggressive vocals brought an immediate, enthusiastic response from the fans. The band maintained a relentless pace, delivering hit after hit with remarkable intensity. Smack My Bitch Up was another highlight, its iconic status evident as the crowd sang along and moved in unison to the pounding rhythm. The performance was raw and visceral, showcasing The Prodigy‘s ability to connect with their audience through their music alone.
Overall, the show was a testament to The Prodigy‘s enduring appeal and their commitment to delivering a powerful live experience. Despite the sparse lighting, the stage set-up and the band’s high-energy performance created an unforgettable atmosphere, ensuring the audience was left thoroughly satisfied.
