Orbital, the zany techno brothers who used to work the decks while wearing futuristic torch-beam glasses, are back and headlining this year's Get Loaded In The Park festival. Taking place on the Sunday of the August bank holiday one day after the South West Four festival - both make up the Clapham Weekender 2009 - GLITP takes on a more electro-orientated tinge this year. Gone are the traditional guitar bands (such as Iggy Pop and The Hives, who peformed last year) in favour of decks and electronic heavyweights. That said, the line up is still mind-blowingly good: joining Orbital on the live stage are Norwegian duo Royksopp, French legend Laurent Garnier, pioneering electro punk Peaches and glitzy electroclash combo Miss Kitten & The Hacker. With DJ sets across four stages from the likes of Felix Da Housecat, Pendulum and Rob Da Bank, Get Loaded In The Park promises to be a worthy outing on Clapham Common - even if it does have, quite frankly, a rubbish name.
