Magnetic Man Joined By Katy B, Ms Dynamite At London Gig

November 4, 2010
Magnetic Man Joined By Katy B, Ms Dynamite At London GigMagnetic Man showcased their debut album, joined by a few surprise faces, at a London gig last night (November 3).

The London dub step group thrilled fans as they tore through an explosive set of their recently released debut album at Heaven nightclub.

Joined on stage by support act Katy B and Ms Dynamite, Magnetic Man pulled off an impressive set, with an equally impressive light display.

Performing in the capital as part of their current UK tour, the trio kicked off their set with title track 'Flying Into Tokyo'.

The band, who performed from a light box set, were joined by the surprise of the night Ms Dynamite. The MC performed 'Fire', causing the venue to explode into a sweaty basement party.

Their non stop 70-minute set confirmed why they are leading the way for dubstep, with standout tracks including 'I Need Air', 'Crossover' and 'Almost There'.

Joined for their final encore by Katy B, Magnetic Man ended their set with crowd favourite 'Perfect Stranger'.

The gig added to a triumphant year for Magnetic Man, who are set to support Deadmau5 next month.
