Bowie Live

Bowie Live comes to The Royal Hall on Saturday 27 March 2027, a tribute show that brings together members of the original cast and a live band to play David Bowie's greatest records. It's not just a band on stage, though — the music runs against a backdrop of films and animations inspired by his work, and the set covers the long stretch from Space Oddity through to Lazarus.

Having original cast members back on stage is the thing that sets this apart from your usual tribute. They're the ones who front the live band, and that connection to the show's history carries through the whole night. The range they work through is wide, too: Space Oddity takes you right back to the 1969 start, while Lazarus comes from the very end, so it's a good way of hearing the different eras of his career in one go.

There's a nice bit of history behind it, as well. Back in 2016, when original cast member Rick Wakeman heard the show's version of Life On Mars, he said, 'You did us proud'. That's a fair bit of weight to carry into the room, especially when you're playing songs that people know by heart.

It's at The Royal Hall in the Harrogate Convention Centre on Saturday 27 March 2027, with the original cast and a live band running through the records from Space Oddity to Lazarus.
