Orbital, which night?

[Memory Man]

She tends to play finsbury park each year like four tet and sells it out

she is massive. And yes its a firmly 20-30 demographic

An orbital saturday sub on park would be circa 9:15 - 10:15 and sunset is about 9:20. The last half of the set would basically be in darkness and it would certainly end in the dark

in other words its absolutely fine

It’s not entirely fine, it’s only an hour of Orbital!

Well yes, but at least that will keep out any filler 😂

[Franky]

Only an hour !!!! FFS 

Should be a 4 hour set. 

In the dark. 

With no rain!

Hoping they play 1 or 2 other sets over the weekend.

I don't disagree with this, but if you want a few hours of Orbital go see them on their green/brown album tour that's coming up soon.

Orbital played NYC yesterday. Played 2 seperate gigs at the same venue, a Green/Brown album set and a 'festival' set. So I may have got it wrong when I said their Park set would be mostly Green/Brown album tunes.

I’m hoping it’s a festival set we get. I’m already going to a Green/Brown gig. Sounds like they played plenty from the latest album at the festival set which is good for me.

Yeah, I review I read said there was a lot of Optical Delusion material, but it's a good record so that's fine with me. I expect they'll be a good mix of old and new though.

[Franky]

Being THE festival I’m hoping for a pure festival set of greatest hits. 
 

Chime

One perfectly Sunrise

Belfast

Satan

etc etc etc

You won't get One Perfect Sunrise but the others are possible.

I know I know. But I can dream. 
 

Maybe they will read this and surprise us now. Taking into account we should see a sunset, I’m hoping a bit of irony will play into it 👍

NYC festival set. Stolen from Setlist FM:

Sunrise not included!

Yeah well to be expected. 
 

But you never know. 
 

Once I get into the Glasto queue for the gates I always stick it on just as the sun is coming up. Sets me up perfectly for the next few hours slog.

[Franky]

Now assuming Glastonbury are going to have them play in the dark, I mean surely. 
 

Does anyone know which night they will be playing? 
 

Cheers 

looks like they could be playing at sunset which would be magic in its own way

This hour is going to fly by. Bit crap really as they were supposed to headline somewhere in the dance area in 21 before it was cancelled. 

[BookAngel]

Do they ever still play Doctor? I remember their 2010 set with Matt Smith, and it would honestly make my year if they repeated that with Ncuti Gatwa 🤞

Given the billing as 'co-headliners', I think we're hoping that they'll give both Orbital and PG 75 mins each (usual Park headliner slot length).

Quick look on setlist fm indicates they haven't played it since 2019. Man that 2010 set was something, still my fave ever at the festival.

Oh I hope so!

[The Red Telephone]

Hopefully they’ve reverted back to Belinda Carlisle/ Bon Jovi in Halcyon- that Spice Girls version can do one!

In case anyone is interested....

 

Nice local radio piece about Orbital coming to Belfast in 1990 and how the track "Belfast" came to be.
