Orbital
Global Gathering today reveals the magnetic headliners set to make waves at this summer’s festival. Set to cause a commotion this year will be time lords of techno Orbital, electronic heavy weights The Prodigy and bullish beat maestros Pendulum.
After selling out Brixton Academy in hours and with a second well on its way, Orbital have also confirmed more of their own indoor shows for September and two special warm-up shows in June:-
BRIGHTON DOME - JUNE 10TH
LEEDS ACADEMY – JUNE 11TH
GLOBAL GATHERING - FRIDAY 24TH – SATURDAY 25TH JULY
NEWCASTLE ACADEMY – SEPTEMBER 21ST
SHEFFIELD ACADEMY – SEPTEMBER 23RD
Expect some heavy beats and high energy hooks at this year’s Global Gathering Festival as 55,000 people congregate at the Long Marston Airfields for a two day, non-stop electronic music weekender that brings together the world’s greatest live and DJ talent. The festival takes place at the height of summer and is set apart by its commitment to next generation technology with inter-galactic visuals and sound systems guaranteed to take the crowd “to another dimension”.
Techno time lords, Orbital, will be celebrating their twentieth anniversary with their headline show at this year’s Global Gathering. With fifteen years of active service and a back catalogue of roof-raising anthems such as “Chime” and “Belfast”, Orbital are masters at building crowds into a frenzy of excitement. Mixing euphoric dance gems with perfectly placed samples of Bon Jovi, Belinda Carlisle and Ian Dury, they deliver a wicked sense of humour to their sets that never fail to impress.
Global Gathering throws open its gates from Friday 24th until 25th July. Electronic music aficionados and the world’s most glamorous clubbing cognoscenti abandon themselves to a euphoric marathon of aural ecstasy from all ends of the dance spectrum including House, Trance, Leftfield, Breaks and so much more.
James Algate, Global Gathering Festival Organiser: “This year’s festival once again promises electronic music fans a stellar line-up. With the live stage, eight musical arenas, including the Godskitchen marquee, the biggest in Europe holding a staggering 15000 people, this summer’s weekend is set to be a crowd pleaser. The festival has always been pioneering in improving the customer experience and listening to feedback through the busy online community. This year is no exception and we are pleased to announce a deposit ticketing scheme for this summers festival.”
