Legendary grandmasters of electronica, Orbital. have just confirmed they will be closing the Other Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2010 on Sunday 27th June.
Until reforming last year, Orbital at Glastonbury 1994, was for many electronic music fans the live highlight of the decade and was rated as one of the Top 50 gigs of all time by Q Magazine. It was seen as Orbital’s spiritual home and where they bowed out in a blaze of glory in 2004 having played there a total of five times. It seems appropriate that they headline the Other Stage on this 40th Anniversary of Glastonbury.
But, after getting back together and storming the UK festival circuit last year with headline performances at Big Chill, Get Loaded, London Freeze and Global Gathering, as well as their own sold out headline shows (playing to over 350,000 people in a year), Orbital are back in demand in 2010 with a whole run of exciting festivals and shows.
‘Getting Orbital back together was like a second chance at life. Closing the Other Stage at Glastonbury is like coming home for a massive party,’ says Paul Hartnoll.
Besides Glastonbury, they are confirmed to play Isle Of Wight Festival in June, they play Guilfest and then headline Glade Festival in July with many other events worldwide, including a headline spot at the prestigious Coachella Festival in San Francisco in April.

March 27 - Ultra Music Festival, Miami, USA
April 16 - Warfield, San Francisco, USA
April 18 - Coachella Festival, LA,USA
May 1 - SOS Festival, Murcia, Spain
May 29 - Primavera Festival, Barcelona, Spain
