To mark 30 years since their debut Glastonbury performance as the first dance act to headline at Worthy Farm, Orbital join Jo at Maida Vale Studios with a very special live mix.

Since releasing their debut single Chime in 1989, brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll aka Orbital have become one of the most iconic electronic acts in British music. Although for years they soundtracked the UK rave scene, it was only in 1994 that they broke through to the mainstream with their debut at Glastonbury Festival. Performing on the NME Stage, they became the first electronic act to have a headline slot at Worthy Farm.

To date, Orbital have released 10 albums, been nominated for BRIT and NME Awards, and collaborated with the likes of Goldfrapp, David Gray, Sparks and even Stephen Hawking.

On 19th April, the band released a remastered version of their debut album (the Green Album). They will perform this year at Glastonbury Festival, Bearded Theory Festival, Camp Bestival, Latitude and more.

Celebrating 30 years since their first Glastonbury headline, Orbital join Jo live at the legendary Maida Vale studios.
