Orbital

Orbital, the pioneering English electronic music band, has been a driving force in the evolution of ambient house and techno since their formation in 1989. Renowned for boundary-pushing live performances and genre-defining studio recordings, Orbital continue to command respect on the international stage. Their discography includes acclaimed releases such as "Optical Delusion" (2023) and the forthcoming compilation "A Beginner’s Guide," set for release in November 2024. The group’s sonic experimentation consistently bridges the worlds of dancefloor dynamism and atmospheric exploration, garnering praise from both electronic aficionados and the broader music community.

In recent years, Orbital have sustained momentum with prominent gigs across the UK and Ireland, captivating audiences at venues like O2 Academy Brixton in London, Great Hall in Cardiff, and Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow. Notably, throughout early 2026, they took the stage as a key support act for Sleaford Mods during the "Demise of Planet X" concert series, underlining their status as one of the electronic genre’s most enduring and respected live music acts. Additionally, in August 2025, Orbital performed at Scarborough Open Air Theatre supporting Faithless, and headlined their own DJ night at Concorde 2 in Brighton in July 2025, affirming their versatility and wide appeal on the current circuit.

With a steady stream of innovative releases—including the single "Re-lush" arriving in May 2025—and a reputation for electrifying concert experiences, Orbital stand as essential figures within contemporary electronic music.
