The Orb are pioneers of ambient electronic music and one of the most influential acts in UK underground dance culture. Formed in the late 1980s, they helped define the sound of ambient house, blending dub, psychedelic textures, experimental electronics and deep rhythmic grooves into a style that remains unmistakably their own.
Known for their immersive live shows and boundary-pushing sound, The Orb have built a global following across decades, with a catalogue that spans classic releases, collaborations and continual reinvention. Their performances are more than concerts — they are audio-visual journeys, moving from deep atmospheric passages to heavy bass-driven moments, all rooted in a uniquely British electronic tradition.
A rare chance to experience true innovators live, The Orb bring a landmark sound and a dedicated audience, making them a standout booking for any venue programme.
This show is presented in partnership with High Tides, the Hastings-based promoters behind a growing wave of landmark shows in the town — including Third World, Mad Professor, Scientist, and Stereo MCs. High Tides specialise in artist-led, community-rooted events that bring heavyweight music culture into independent spaces, giving Hastings audiences access to world-class acts without having to leave the coast.
