Bowie Celebration

The Lantern Hall at the Bristol Beacon

Saturday January 17, 2026

19:30

The Fantasy Orchestra return to Lantern Hall with a glitter-soaked celebration of David Bowie. Marking ten years since his passing and coinciding with the opening of the V&A’s landmark Bowie collection – the Orchestra dive deep into the restless creativity that shaped his music, fashion and myth-making. You’ll hear favourites from every era alongside a few cult treasures from the far corners of his catalogue, all delivered by a stage full of musicians decked out in their finest Bowie-inspired looks. Audiences are warmly invited to dress up and join the spectacle – because Bowie was never just something you listened to, he was something you became.
Tickets: General: £19.05 / Concessions: £15.68 (incl. booking fee)
