Absolute Bowie: A Birthday Celebration 10 Years On

Join us for a powerful and poignant night as Absolute Bowie, the UK’s Best Tribute Band and Best Bowie act, return to London for a spectacular show at O2 Academy Islington. Taking place on the weekend of what would have been David Bowie’s birthday, and marking the anniversary of his passing, this show is both a celebration and a tribute to one of the most iconic artists in music history.

Now in their 20th year of touring, Absolute Bowie deliver an electrifying performance packed with theatrical flair, breathtaking musicianship, and more costume ch-ch-ch-anges than any other Bowie tribute in the world. From Ziggy Stardust to Aladdin Sane, The Thin White Duke to Let’s Dance, this is a full-throttle journey through the eras, personas, and sounds that made Bowie a legend.

With rave reviews from NME ("a lovingly crafted Bowie show") and the Mail on Sunday ("an unmissable tribute act"), Absolute Bowie don’t just play the songs, they embody the spirit of the man who fell to Earth. Expect two full sets of Bowie’s greatest hits performed by a world-class five-piece band led by the magnetic John O’Neill, plus dazzling costumes and moments that will leave you breathless.

From Absolute Beginners to Heroes—this is sure to be an emotional night so come and meet them… they might just blow your mind.
