Not that the war-torn city of Beirut needs any fires being started, but Prodigy will be sure to ignite a few, musically at least, when the group brings its aggressive brand of electronica there for a concert this Saturday.

It's not the first time Prodigy has made a high-profile incursion into strangely foreign lands, as the band performed for a crowd of 200,000 at Moscow's Red Square last October.

In related news, the band has also announced that it will be returning to the states for two weeks worth of shows in June.

The dates for Prodigy's upcoming tour are:

  • 6/16 - Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club
  • 6/18 - Seattle, WA @ Seattle Center Mercer Arena
  • 6/22 - Chicago, IL @ Riviera Theater
  • 6/23 - Montreal, QUE @ Du Maurier Stadium
  • 6/24 - Detroit, MI @ State Theater
  • 6/26 - Atlanta, GA @ The Tabernacle
  • 6/27 - Miami Beach, Fl @ Babyfront Amphitheater
