🎤 Absolute Bowie - The Horn, St Albans (Ages 14+)


Time: 21:00

Now in their 19th year of touring, the UKs 'Best Tribute Band' and 'Best Bowie' act, would like to come and meet you and they might just blow your mind... Absolute Bowie returns to The Horn!

▪️AGES: 14+
(Under 18's need to be accompanied by an adult)

With an electrifying performance from main Starman John O’Neill, and theatrical mid-set costume ch-ch-ch-anges, Absolute Bowie will take you on a musical journey through the greatest hits of David Bowie with their huge stage show.

🎸 ABOUT THE SHOW
"A lovingly crafted Bowie show" says NME, and "an unmissable tribute act" hails the Mail on Sunday. The band will leave you wanting more from the most genuine David Bowie tribute out there. Is it any wonder when you are too cool to fool?

David Bowie’s evolving image has mesmerised fans since the early 70’s and for the first time ever Absolute Bowie will take audiences on a trip that presents all his best-loved personas in all their glory. Performed by a world class five-piece band, this unique concert features two long sets and more costume changes than any other show. A true extravaganza of the wonder that is Bowie’s work.

🎶 THE SETLIST
The band have listened to fans and evolved the show’s setlist to really give an all-killer performance and no Bowie fan is left out. All of the Starman’s greatest hits are performed plus tracks from:

⭐️ Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars
⭐️ Heroes
⭐️ Aladdin Sane
⭐️ Hunky Dory
⭐️ Let’s Dance
⭐️ Young Americans

Prepare to be taken from A to Z (Absolute Beginners to Ziggy!) with Stations to Station in between.

🥁 THE BAND
Featuring the incredible vocals of John O’Neill as David Bowie, with our very own Ronno, Andy Marr on guitar, Telegram Sam on bass, Danny Mattin on keyboards, Alex Riccardi on drums and, when possible, Fiona Asbury on saxophone.

So don't miss out - don your glittery dancing boots, paint a flash on your face and buy your tickets now because the planet Earth is blue and there's nothing else left to do...
