Virgin Atlantic Director of Communications Meigan Terry said: “The 787 is a big step forward for us in terms of both innovation and our commitment to constantly delight our customers. With this in mind, we want to make sure that Birthday Girl’s inaugural flight is truly memorable.

Bringing together two cutting edge music artists and attempting an absolute world first feels like a good way to cement the 787 as the centrepiece of our fleet.”
