Celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Man Who Sold The World, this year’s festival will honour the legendary performer’s life and achievements.
What’s on the line-up?
There will be movie screenings, fashion exhibitions, quizzes, gigs, lectures, markets and much more.
Things kick off next Wednesday with an exhibition entitled ‘Silhouettes and Shadows’. An ode to Bowie’s fascination with the Pre-Raphaelite Movement, the exhibit will feature fine art portraiture and sculpture.
Later that day there will be an I Heart Bowie tribute gig as well as a Bowie-themed silent disco in Whelans.
