The show will feature specially commissioned arrangements of some of Bowie's most well-known songs, including Life on Mars, Heroes, Starman, Changes, and Space Oddity. Dubliner Gerry Leonard, a long-time collaborator with Bowie, will lead the performance as the Musical Director.
The orchestra will be joined by several of Bowie’s former band members, including drummer Sterling Campbell, guitarist Mark Plati, and bassist Gail Ann Dorsey. Special guest performers include Faye O’Rourke (Soda Blonde), Dana Masters, Duke Special and Shobsy.
The concert coincides with the tenth edition of the Dublin Bowie Festival, which celebrates Bowie’s work and legacy. The festival features a wide range of artists from various disciplines and attracts attendees from across Ireland and beyond.
