Q&A with Orbital

How does it feel to be embarking on a return to the festival circuit this summer? It’s really exciting to be back and we’re both looking forward to what looks set to be a fantastic summer. Let’s hope the sun shines.

What were your reasons for coming back? Well we always said ‘never say never’, but I think the timing was just right. We had both done solo records and worked on different things apart.

What have you missed the most? The buzz of playing to audiences and seeing their reaction... sun setting over a festival and people enjoying themselves to your music is a great sight!

What have you not missed? Mud

Get Loaded in the Park is your only festival show in London. Are you looking forward to the gig? We are both really excited about Get Loaded. It’s going to be a great moment as the sun sets over Clapham Common, we just hope everyone enjoys themselves.

What can we expect from the new show at Get Loaded this summer? There is no new record so people can expect the old favourites. There will be no messing about, its going to be a fun packed show!

What Orbital tune are you most looking forward to playing out live again? It’s always great playing Chime

Have you ever been to Get Loaded before or heard any stories from those who have been? I’ve had a few friends tell me that it’s great fun. I think as it’s a Bank Holiday and you’re in a park in London, people are obviously out to have a fantastic time and that just rubs off on everyone and the vibe is great.

Tell us about your love affair with Glastonbury. How did it feel to be the first dance act to have ever graced the main stage and what was that experience like? Yes that was 1995 on the Pyramid Stage, just before Pulp. I was feeling scared but it was brilliant at the same time. Although I do prefer the Other Stage.

Your music videos have always maintained a strong visual thought process, what are the big influences in life that inspires you? Everyday life – kitchen sink movies of the 60s that kind of thing. Ken Loach, Mike Leigh etc

Are you planning a new LP perhaps down the line? Never say never.

Which current artists are floating your boat at the moment? Metallica, Elbow.

As brothers, will you be making it a family occasion at Get Loaded in the Park with siblings, parents, aunts, uncles all in tow watching from the pit? Yes we’ll have our kids there I’m sure, unless they think they’re too cool to be watching their dads.
