18th October

Academy 2

The Orb will once again mesmerise the people of Manchester after a sell out performance in October 2013. The exclusive show promises to be of consciousness-expanding and awe-inspiring status.

The genius that is Dr. Alex Paterson will pilot the night performing first as The Orb with two of their most prominent albums. Their debut album, Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld, was essentially the album that kick started ambient house popularising low volume with multiscreen video projections. UFOrb was the group’s first UK number one, a phenomenal achievement for a genre that a few years prior was an undefined entity. The honourable doctor will then take the crowd on a 90-minute journey called ‘Orb in dub’.

With the event set to last six hours in Manchester’s Academy on Saturday 18th, expect a mystical and captivating experience into the mind of The Orb. If you can prepare yourself for a night like this, check out their first two records, as they will be showcased on the night.

Tickets are available now on Ticketline, priced at £17.
