The British electronic duo Orbital are set to reawaken the underground rave scene of the 1990s as they take to the Park Stage at Glastonbury 2024.The rave pioneers will be gracing the stage at the festival on Saturday.
Thirty-three years after their debut album, commonly referred to as the Green album, brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll have been revisiting their first two albums on tour this year and are stopping off at Worthy Farm.
The duo from Kent first worked together as bricklayers for their father’s business before they started recording music in 1987. Their first single, Chime, became a huge hit on the underground rave scene and entered the Top 20 in 1990.
