As the Brixton gig is a Friday, i'm betting that when it sells out, there will be a 26th September gig there, and maybe also a Friday 17th at Manchester...

Dirty 0900's original message:

Crusty rockers are doing it, so why not on the elctronica vibe!
There doing the Big Chill festival next year, not sure if there doing any other dates or releasing new material...

[IsiliRunite]

Nice.

[Rog]

[Rog]

i can't tell from this if they're planning anything beyond the one gig- the bit about "time was right", "not an exercise in nostalgia" makes me hope there's new brotherly collaboration.

[BeautifulBurnout]

Superb news!!!

[dubman]

oh no, we're even more shit when we're seperate, lets see if we can scccccccrape together some bits of stuff so that together we can be mediocre again

meh.

[Wubwubwubwub]

WOW I HOPE THEY PLAY DOCOTOR WHO AND THEN THE BELINDA CARLISLELS SONG BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T ALL HEARD THE EXACT FUCKING SAME THING NINETY TIMES.

Both should throw themselves under lorries.

[GoatSucker]

Wow! Not entirely unexpected, though 5 years does seem to have flown by...

I don't hold out any hope of there being any new Orbital material, but to be honest they could play exactly the same set at their farewell tour and I'll still be first in line to get a ticket...
