Orbital @ Sónar 2009 Barcelona

'Orbital will be one of the main attractions on the bill of Sónar 2009, Barcelona’s International Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art to be held on 18th, 19th and 20th June.

Orbital, the most important group in electronic dance music in the ‘90s, return to the international stage in 2009 with a tour that will give a fresh airing to all the major hits of their career, which will be an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate 20 years of cinematic techno anthems and symphonies.'

Now that combination Orbital, Sonar 2009, Barcelona, Beach, sun, few beers, birds sounds good...

Erm... :p

I doubt it, to be honest, but you never know?

Hopefully Goldenvoice can get them to come do Coachella.

the full-programm for the sonar festival is not yet known but i'm sure super-dj-worldstars such as sven vath and richie hatwin will be there for sure...

meanwhile about Orbital: The band is scheduled to perform at RockNess in Scotland on June 13th and Global Gathering on July 24th. Other shows include solo performances at Manchester Academy on September 19th and at London Brixton Academy on September 25th

Also, a Czech Republic festival in early June - contemplating that one, as tickets are a mind-boggling 35 quid (or thereabouts), and flights are around 60 quid... :)

Oh, and it's currently their first gig... :)

Are they just anniversary-touring or doing a new album, too?

I think they need the money, so i would expect a new record deal too.

That would be great :D .

Well, during this tour, they aren't (apparently) playing any new songs...

And - hopefully - nothing off the last two albums, bar 'You Lot'!

or 'Technologique Park'.
