Orbital were praised for their live set at Glastonbury in 1994

Brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll said their forthcoming Blue album would be their last record and their final live show will be at Glastonbury in June.

"I think we feel that Orbital has run its course. We've been pursuing different avenues with our music," said Paul Hartnoll on the band's website.

Orbital were famed for their live performances which often included ambitious laser displays.

Music magazine Q described their 1994 Glastonbury appearance as one of the 50 greatest live shows of all time.

"It's nice to know that we're finishing, it's not many bands that do that. They tend to just fade away. And it's nice to have our last gig at Glastonbury," said Hartnoll.

The brothers said they wanted to go out on a high.

Moving on

"It's gonna be a party set, a best of Orbital. We're not gonna sit there and try and promote the new album. I think if we're gonna do a last gig we should do a distilled set of all the best stuff we've done, " said Paul Hartnoll.

He also said he and brother Phil had had enough of being stuck in a studio together.

"We've been sat, as brothers, in the same room for 15 years now - and the studios are always confined spaces - I think it's time for a change."

The band's first single, Chime, entered the top 20 in April 1990 and they went on to release six albums.

Their seventh effort, The Blue Album, will be released on 21 June.
