Electronic music pioneers Orbital are set to release their iconic 1994 Glastonbury performance, officially bringing the legendary set to fans via London Records on September 25, 2026. This historic recording, which helped cement electronic music as a dominant force on festival main stages, serves as a definitive document of the evolution of UK dance culture.
The upcoming release features the complete, unedited performance captured during a pivotal era for the duo. The set highlights the Hartnoll brothers’ exceptional ability to command massive crowds using only synthesisers and sequencers, effectively bridging the divide between indie and rave audiences of the mid-90s.
Meticulously Restored Audio
To ensure the highest quality for this release, the audio has been restored and remastered from the original desk tapes by Mark Ayres. This process offers significantly improved clarity compared to the long-circulating, lower-quality fan recordings that have defined the set's legacy for decades. The collection includes seminal tracks such as 'Impact,' 'Are We Here?,' and 'Chime.'
'Orbital Glastonbury 1994' will be available across multiple formats, including double coloured vinyl, black vinyl, CD, and all digital platforms. Pre-orders are currently available for those looking to secure this piece of electronic music history.
