The Prodigy's opening song at Leeds Festival tonight (August 28), 'World's On Fire', proved prophetic, as it inspired fans in the crowd to light a flare.

The firestarters sparked up the flame before 'Warrior's Dance', which inspired riotous scenes at the Main Stage.

The Essex band got the masses raving with a typically energetic set, including fan favourites such as 'Breathe' and 'Voodoo People'.

'Firestarter' saw singer Keith Flint charge around the stage, while his co-frontman Maxim regularly fired the crowd up with rallying cries of, "Where the fuck are you Leeds Festival?".

"If you ain't fucking here, where the fuck are you? You're fucking nowhere," he told the crowd before 'Invaders Must Die', perhaps alluding to those who had chosen to go and see Glasvegas on the Radio 1/NME Stage instead.

The stage was lit up by a dazzling strobe show throughout the set, which culminated in a climactic 'Out Of Space'.

The Prodigy played:

'World's On Fire'
'Breathe'
'Omen'
'Warrior's Dance'
'Firestarter'
'Run With The Wolves'
'Voodoo People'
'Invaders Must Die'
'Smack My Bitch Up'
'Take Me To The Hospital'
'Out Of Space'

The Prodigy outshine Arctic Monkeys at Leeds
The Prodigy knocked the Arctic Monkeys from their headline tree at the opening night of Leeds Festival 2009, in what surely must go down as one of the most misplaced billings in the festival's history.

As the arena starts to swell with the excited and giddy it’s clear that The Prodigy have a reputation to uphold. When their splintered guitar grooves and scattershot beats finally shoot off amidst an apocalyptic light storm it seemed the entire festival, including a few burger van girls, goes absolutely apeshit. Only co-vocalist Maxim’s presence tarnished an otherwise flawless performance “If you aren’t here, you’re fucking nowhere”, being one of a few of Maxim’s choice nonsensical quotes that make his presence as pointless as ever. To have them obliterate the stage before Arctic Monkeys almost seems cruel.
