Orbital

A truly fabulous duo.

As a fan of dance music, there is nothing I enjoy more than 'getting into the zone' and dancing along to the beat without a care in the world, or what others around me are doing or thinking. Once this happens you know you are having a great night and appreciating the music to its fullest. 

Although there is a variety of dance music out there, one dance band that I can never get enough of is the duo Orbital. Orbital is a British electronic dance band made up of two brothers. Orbital first hit the music scene and 1989 but decided to go on a hiatus in 2004. It was not until 2009 that Orbital announced their return and headlined at The Big Chill. 

I was fortunate to see this dance band live at Glastonbury, and boy did I love them. Their chilled out sounds although can be at times repetitive, were extremely captivating and had me enraptured. With the loud music, flashing lights, and packed crowd dancing, the duos set was epic and left me with a sense of euphoria.

If you are someone who doesn't really get the vibe or the feeling for dance music than skipping this type of performance is recommended. However, if like me, you love this type of genre of music than I urge you to get tickets. It will be well worth it.
