With tickets selling fast for our annual David Bowie celebration night at the Brixton Dogstar on Friday 11th Jan 2019, we thought we’d post up a reminder to anyone who wants to come along – grab your tickets before they sell out!
All our previous David Bowie charity events in Brixton sold out long in advance, and with around three weeks to go, over half the tickets have already gone. And what could be a better Christmas gift for a Bowie fan?!
On the tragic news of Bowie’s death in January 2016, we were the first venue in Britain to announce a free tribute night, and we toasted the great man’s talent with with a night of Bowie music to a jam-packed house.
We followed up with another sold out party the following year, raising £600 for local charities, and last year we hosted our biggest party to date, with hundreds of Bowie fans joining us at the Brixton Dogstar and helping us raise over a thousand pounds for local music charities (echoing David Bowie’s charity gig for Brixton in 1983).
On Friday, January 11th 2019 we’ll be back with another night celebrating David Bowie, playing his hits, album tracks, obscurities and more, and mixing in tracks from some of his musical influences and the artists he inspired (e.g. Velvet Underground, Mott The Hoople, Chic, Kraftwerk etc).
There will also be videos, slideshows and photos of the great man projected on to the walls – plus Bowie bunting! – and we’ll have a facepainter on hand to apply some Bowie-style makeup – plus special guests!
We invite Bowie fans young and old to dress up in the Bowie look of their choice, with free shots dished out to the best efforts, and we’ll have a photographer on hand so we can share the photos on Brixton Buzz afterwards.
