In-flight album launch for Parlotones
Multi-platinum, award winning South African rock band, The Parlotones will entertain passengers and launch their album live on the Virgin Atlantic.
The band will entertain passengers on board flight VS602 from Johannesburg to London this weekend with their much anticipated new album Stand Like Giants. Passengers will also be able to make song requests and be serenaded in their seats as the band work their way through the Virgin Atlantic cabins meeting fans.
Virgin Atlantic President Sir Richard Branson said: "Music is in the Virgin DNA, so we’re really excited that a hugely successful band like the Parlotones will launch their album live on board a Virgin Atlantic flight. Throughout this airline’s history we have looked for innovative and entertaining ways to give our passengers the very best flying experience, and an acoustic concert at 37,000 feet is definitely true to that pioneering spirit."
Lead singer of The Parlotones Kahn Morbee added: "We have been flying Virgin Atlantic for years, to and from our international tours. They have always treated us like superstars. In 2014 we get to do a first for The Parlotones, when we play a show on-board during a flight to London….the VIRGINtones."
The Parlotones and the 94.7 Breakfast Xpress Team will also get to experience some sight seeing in London and Scotland with trips to The Shard, the London Eye and with Virgin Atlantic’s Little Red to Edinburgh and Glasgow too.
The band will also will also perform two live shows at landmark locations, Virgin Limited Edition’s Kensington Roof Gardens, Sir Richard Branson’s property, followed by another show at the infamous King Tuts in Glasgow. The 94.7 Breakfast Xpress team will be broadcasting live back to South Africa.
