Kim Petras made a big impact (or Kim-pact…) on the glitter-festooned hoard who piled into the Radio 1 Dance Stage.

Drawn in by her characteristic allure and synth-laden brand of rave-pop, those that gathered found it impossible to tear their eyes away from the petite yet powerful figure that dominated every inch of the stage.

Reclaiming sexuality and sensuality in a profound way, tracks such as the unabashedly titled ‘Do Me’ (dedicated brilliantly to ‘all my fellow hoes out there!’) brought a sense of liberation and defiance in equal measure, while Kim’s soaring vocals shone through – even over the pulsating synths and gimmicky yet self-aware sound effects that permeated the set.

The pulsating drums meant to inspire raucous applause from the crowd were hardly necessary, as Kim’s punchy, unapologetic, candid performance was enough to win the tent over, all on its own.
