The Orb ft Lee Harris / Dom Beken (Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets) present Metallic Spheres. A world premiere brought to you by Floyd in Folkestone 2026.
“On The Run – The Floyd Collective”, founders and curators of the annual “Floyd in Folkestone” Festival, have announced an extraordinary Opening Night for their 2026 programme, with Lee Harris and Dom Beken of Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets joining The Orb to perform Metallic Spheres LIVE – for the first time ever on Friday 28 August 2026.
Originally released in 2010 with a second chapter released in 2024, Metallic Spheres was a landmark collaboration between The Orb and David Gilmour, blending ambient electronics with the unmistakable tones and textures of this legendary guitarist. Until now, the album has never been performed live in full.
For this world-first performance, The Orb will be joined by Lee Harris (guitarist and co-founder of Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets) and Dom Beken (BAFTA nominated composer, multi-instrumentalist, Saucers’ keyboardist and former Orb member), creating a powerful bridge between Floyd’s psychedelic heritage and The Orb’s pioneering electronic soundscapes.
The performance will open Floyd in Folkestone 2026, setting the tone for the world’s only annual festival that celebrates the legacy and alumni of this iconic band. This unique live debut promises a deeply immersive, cinematic and emotional experience – one that fans of Floyd, The Orb and experimental rock will not want to miss.
