A unique gig will be hosted on board the ultramodern British Airways i360 Viewing Tower on Friday 6 March at 8pm to celebrate women in the music industry ahead of International Women's Day on Sunday 8 March.

As the South Coast's Highest Bar glides above the city of Brighton to 450ft, six-piece group, 24hr Garage Girls, SHOSH and Kiss FM Drum and Bass DJ, Mollie Collins will play to an intimate group of just 130.

The elegant futuristic viewing pod does not fail to make its mark on Brighton's iconic seafront, offering a floor space that is ten times the size of a London Eye capsule and unfolding 360-degree views of the UK's most popular seaside town.

Onboard the pod, guests can enjoy a drink at the Nyetimber Sky Bar, one of the most unique bars in the UK.

International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the achievements of women.

Dance, Hip Hop, Drum and Bass, garage, MC and rap genres fall into a male-dominated industry, where women have to fight hard for a place. In 2018 there were more than 450 rapper releases and less than ten per cent of those were from women.

Acts such as 24hr Garage Girls are carving a name for themselves having performed at major festivals around the world including Glastonbury, Outlook Festival, Snowboxx, Boomtown and Reading and Leeds. They have collaborated with BBC 1xtra, DJ Mag and WKD.

Front woman, SHOSH, says: "The girls are so excited to create something really special for International Women's Day 2020! It's not just about a unique party in an amazing location, it's about celebrating how far women have come in the music industry and giving something back to empower our sisters! Brighton is where it all began for us, and we can't think of a better spot to highlight such an incredible awareness day than at 450 foot above the iconic Brighton beach.

“We're beyond thrilled to collaborate with KISS FM presenter Mollie Collins, who plays the best in underground Drum n Bass and whose name seems to be catapulting onto major rave line-ups across Europe, playing to crowds of thousands. This gig will be extra special as unlike our other events we will be playing to an intimate group of just 130.”

Speaking ahead of the event, Mollie says: “I'm so excited to play the International Women's Day gig at BA i360 with 24hr garage girls, representing some of the amazing female talent we have not just in drum and bass but in all genres of music in 2020. BAi360 is a certainly a unique venue and with a small crowd, it's going to be a memorable gig that's for sure.”

There are only 130 tickets available for this intimate gig. Tickets cost £35 and include two extended 45-minute flights. 10 per cent of the revenue will be donated to Brighton Women's Centre.  For over 40 years, the centre has been supporting self-identifying women in Sussex face all kinds of issues by offering projects such as confidence and wellbeing programmes.
