English electronica group The Prodigy has announced that they are working on a new album and will debut new material at the U.K. rock festival Download 2012, reports Music News.
According to frontman Liam Howlett, the band is already back in the studio recording the follow-up to their 2009 album, Invaders Must Die. Fans will be able to get a sneak peek at the new tunes during their performance at the Download Festival in June.
"We are definitely going to bring the party and make sure it rocks," said Howlett. "It’s the only festival appearance we are doing in 2012, so we’re going to make sure it’s really special. We’re also going to be dropping some of the new stuff that we have been doing in the studio. It’s going to be f—ing ferocious."
The massive three-day festival takes place June 8-10, 2012 in Leicestershire, England. Prodigy will headline on Friday, while Metallica and Black Sabbath will headline on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased through the festival’s official website.
