Isle of Wight Festival 2010: Orbital Play Big Top

They are known as one of the biggest influences in British electronica and their recent comeback has been a joy to all Orbital fans.

Next summer, the Hartnoll brothers from Sevenoaks will be crossing the Solent and promising to blow our minds with the return of their infamous music and light shows, as they headline the Big Top on the Saturday night.

We predict an increase in the sales of head torches as die-hard fans gather in their droves to pay homage to the kings of techno mastery.

If you’ve never seen them play live, this will be the night to catch them. We were blown away by the light show that accompanied the Australian Pink Floyd in the Big Top last year, so expect this to follow suit.

You recognise their tracks from many a film or TV programme including Hackers, The Beach and Human Traffic.

If you need a reminder, check them out via the wonders of YouTube.
