Rudimental and Gorgon City played back-to-back last night at #FlightDecks, entertaining an audience of thousands of fans across the world as they performed the first ever gig to be live streamed over the Atlantic Ocean.
The UK chart toppers wowed an exclusive audience of super fans and VIPs on the inaugural flight of the new Virgin Atlantic 787 from London to Atlanta. Thousands tuned in from around the world to enjoy the gig from the comfort of their own homes as it became the first to be live streamed via Wi-Fi whilst the 787 was flying over the heart of the Atlantic Ocean.
Spinning their decks in the newly designed Upper Class bar and walking up and down the aisles of the 787, Rudimental treated fans to renditions of their two number one hit singles ‘Feel The Love’ and ‘Waiting All Night.’ Performing on the plane with live vocalists and horns, Rudimental played back-to-back with ‘Ready For Your Love’ hit-makers Gorgon City in a DJ collaboration at 35,000 feet above the Atlantic.
The inaugural flight made history, with DJ Locksmith taking to the PA system early on encouraging everyone to get out of their seats and enjoy the party atmosphere on-board. The final set started with both bands walking the length of the plane accompanied by trumpet players and live vocalists as fans and guests sang along to some of their greatest hits.
Amir Amor of Rudimental said: “What a buzz. Having all the band together, playing to thousands of people around the world from the bar on a plane, you can’t put a price on that. It’s an experience we will never forget.
We have a lot of respect for Gorgon City. They make great music. So it was a big bonus to be able to play with them at such a memorable gig.”
