ORBITAL WILL PERFORM AT SóNAR 2009

Orbital will be one of the main attractions of Sónar 2009, Barcelona’s International Festival of Advanced Music and Multimedia Art to be held on June 18th, 19th and 20th.

Orbital, one of the most important groups in electronic dance music in the ‘90s, returns to the international stage in 2009 with a tour that will give a fresh airing to all the major hits of their career, which will be an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate 20 years of cinematic techno anthems and symphonies.

The Hartnoll brothers are considered the pioneering duo in the introduction of live improvisation to their performances, a rarity in techno shows at the end of the twentieth century, which they will reproduce once again at what will be their third show at Sónar. Orbital created dozens of legendary anthems between 1989 and 2004, including Chime, The Box, Belfast, Satan and Style. These anthems have influenced and inspired several generations and a vast number of musicians in the following years.

For their show at the 16th edition of Sónar, they guarantee their patented torch specs will appear, as will new audiovisuals to give a dash of colour to a session with no new songs and packed with all their greatest hits.

More artists on the bill of Sónar 2009 will be announced soon.
