Carl Cox has turned backstage into his own rave during The Prodigy's sold-out arena tour. A clip from the Manchester stop shows the veteran DJ dancing freely while the legendary electronic act tore into 'Voodoo People' live. Notably, Carl Cox is opening every date of The Prodigy's 2026 UK and Ireland run. His two-hour warm-up set runs across three turntables, strictly on vinyl.

The tour pairs one of dance music’s most iconic live acts with the longest-serving DJ in the business. Crucially, every date on the run sold out quickly after tickets first went on sale. The pairing doubles as a full-evening showcase of UK electronic music history. In turn, fans arrive early enough to catch Carl Cox’s set in full rather than drifting in late.

Carl Cox has leaned into old-school energy for the whole tour. Indeed, he shared the Manchester clip with the caption “Manchester, we took it back”, underlining his commitment to vinyl. His three-deck sets pull from decades of dance, drum and bass, and techno records. Meanwhile, fans in the comments have praised him as “best support in all time”.

The backstage moment landed because he was genuinely dancing alongside crew and friends. Still, it underlined why Carl Cox has become one of dance music’s great connectors across generations. For long-time Prodigy fans, seeing him react to ‘Voodoo People’ felt like a full-circle moment between peers. The Prodigy and Carl Cox continue their arena run through April, with more UK and Ireland shows still to come.
