About Orbital

Orbital are brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll, who grew up in Dartford, Kent, and went on to become one of the most important names in British electronic music. From the breakthrough of their 1990 single “Chime”, they took the energy of the underground rave scene and showed it could command the biggest crowds. Their headline set at Glastonbury in 1994, trademark head-torches and all, is still remembered as the moment dance music proved it belonged on a festival main stage alongside rock’s biggest acts.

Across a career spanning more than 35 years, Orbital have never settled into a single genre, moving freely through ambient, breakbeat, techno and beyond, with classics such as “Belfast” and “Halcyon” and collaborations ranging from Kraftwerk to Sleaford Mods. Their tenth studio album, Optical Delusion (2023), reached number six on the UK Official Albums Chart and topped the Official Dance Albums Chart, their first UK Top Ten since The Middle of Nowhere (1999). Live, they remain one of electronic music’s great draws, pairing restless invention with a show built to be felt as much as heard.
