Orbital

Fact Sheet

Country  England, UK
Years active1987-
Orbital is an English electronic music duo formed in 1989 consisting of the brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll. Orbital takes its name from the raves that occurred in the late 1980s near the M25 orbital motorway that circles London. They played what they have declared to be their last English gig in June 2004 at the Glastonbury Festival, coinciding with the release of their final album, The Blue Album. A number of other dates were announced since the Glastonbury concert, such as an appearance at Scotland's T in the Park Festival. However, the Hartnolls remain adamant that their live performances will come to an end after this current wave of shows.
