Orbital definitely not playing

[darrenbha]

I'll have to see them in brighton early June then

[reas11]

aww im gutted another oldies band you all wanted to headline can't make it

what a shame

[LusciousLucy]

Tis a good thing then I am flying home early from Oz for the Brighton Show then!

Of course had every bit of me crossed for a Glasto appearance what with them playing every blooming where else including the corporate Chavtastic behemoth of Global Gathering - a festival that doesnt exactly suit Dance Gods as their sets get cut short and the audience only ever go to see them for one famous tune...see Underworld 2005!!! Honestly!

Potential backlash on loopz possibly?

Now just got to decide if I extend my UK visit all the way to the end of August for Get Loaded...

is Big Chill sold out yet?

BUT...if the Fleetwood Mac rumours are true...not seeing the wonderful Hartnoll Bros... FM will be a fab consolation.

Big Chill tickets are still available; I was thinking to take a year off Big Chill (first time in ages), but I'm becoming more tempted now. Ticket prices increase after 28th February, when the early bird scheme ends. £129 -> £145

ah man, i was up for them being the other stage headliner on sunday... maybe i will watch blur

[Glazieyes]

Gutted, words cannot describe fully how I feel about this! I go to Electric Picnic Every Friggin year and can't afford it this year because i'm goin to Glasto!!

I Know Glasto will be outstanding no matter who plays but had really got my hopes up for Orbital!

How can they not when they are doing all this http://www.loopz.co.uk/begin.html

Well that's eased the shock of not buying a Glasto ticket for the first time in about 10 years!

Defo going to the Big Chill though

[TomfromStroud]

I didn't hear this. Are we sure he was serious?

Looking at their tour you'd think it was based around Glastonbury:

Edit***********these dates were wrong. Ignore me*************

And what's changed so much at Glastonbury in a few years?

Feck.....

....& double-feck

Where'd you hear that L'BITS?

Thing in the park is a date it would meantime appear....

[Paul ™]

Spiritulized then Orbital at BC.. yas!

[sdaveak47]

Hubbie will be gutted! Can anyone give me an idea what Big Chill is like?

[scaryclaireyfairy]

orbital are now on the rumours page...

[eFestivals]

orbital are now on the rumours page...

they've been on there for weeks - it's showing as updated because they've been downgraded to just 'rumour'.

[Mr.Tickle]

They already were on the rumours page.

I'm totally gutted, I'm already seeing Oasis in June so the other half won't let me do Oasis / Orbital AND Glasto.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

ahhh.

[sifi]

Maybe they're embarassed. It was where they did their first ever last ever show, after all.

[Paul ™]

I don't think that's true. It was one of the last (and a great night it was too). But I seem to remember they played somewhere else afterwards (in Scotland, maybe?)

I was a bit disappointed by their last Glasto appearance. There were these massive gaps between the tracks and I never felt it got going. And it was fecking cold, though I suppose that's not their fault.

[pinback]

I remember enjoying myself hugely. But that's all I really remember of that set.

Excited about going to see them in Brighton now

Oh poop.

[MikeyB37]

I also wondered todat whether Glasto has a big but different electronica act lined up, for which Orbital can't muscle aside and take a top spot?

.....Daft Punk or Faithless being the obvious candidates.....

& when was the last time Glasto didn't have a big electronica act headlining a major stage at some point across the weekend?

[timespeedsup]

Now you're just teasing me
