Orbital definitely not playing

[mozzy]

Bad news for connoisseurs of quality beeps & loops: 6 Music 6.30 news played a clip of an interview with Phil Hartnoll where he said Glastonbury is apparently now "too corporate'' (his exact words) in comparison to the early days & consequently Orbital wont be playing.

Looks like all the great memories of them at Glastonbury are going to stay just that.

yeah, I;m a bit fed up tonight, there's not a single name mentioned so far that's excited me, plus the leftfield is gone. Ahhh, I dunno, I know I'll have a good time, I just wish there was some acts I could really get enthusiastic about. It's more than the music, I do understsnd that, but the music is part of it too.

[MikeyB37]

Hubbie will be gutted! Can anyone give me an idea what Big Chill is like?

[Cooter]

Nah, sounded like he meant it. Which considering they've been announced for Get Loaded In The Friggin' Park is a bit rum, to say the least. But gutting all the same.

[Madalien]

Aww I'm sad to hear this,I'm glad I bought a ticket to see them in September!

[Kowalski]

Just as well I'll be seeing them at Rockness then.

Gutted if its true.

At least i won't have to worry about the potential blur clash now. And believe me, I had started worrying already.
