The season will run from May to September 2026. Audiences can sign up to Lightroom’s mailing list HERE for further details and first chance to purchase tickets.
Each Bowie Night will take place at Lightroom in King’s Cross, the unique immersive venue which will host the major new production David Bowie: You’re Not Alone, which opens on April 22. Tickets can be found HERE.

The six photographers will be joined on stage by author and journalist Miranda Sawyer to discuss their selected works on Bowie; Adam Buxton’s BUG Bowie Special (17 June; 2, 3, 4 July), in which the British podcaster and comedian presents his celebrated live show exploring Bowie’s most iconic music videos; and Anna Calvi and Carlos Alomar in Conversation with Guitars (10 June), where the esteemed British songwriter and Bowie’s musical director, co- writer and guitarist unpack his songs for a live audience through a blend of discussion and musical demonstration.
A first musical performance has also been announced, with a unique cello recital by acclaimed composer and cellist Peter Gregson (3, 4, 5 September).
As part of the BOWIE NIGHTS programme, Lightroom will extend opening hours on selected Friday evenings. Each Bowie Late will celebrate a different era of Bowie’s career, beginning with the 1970s on May 1, when audiences are encouraged to dress in their best ’70s and Bowie- inspired outfits and enjoy the show alongside a themed cocktail menu.
Lightroom CEO Richard Slaney said: “David Bowie: You're Not Alone' invites audiences at Lightroom to experience the imagination and creativity of David Bowie. It vividly depicts how he played with, and drew upon all forms of culture in his music and performance; so, it's a natural extension to explore his impact through this fantastic series of events, featuring both artists who worked with him and those who continue to be inspired by his legacy.”
David Bowie: You’re Not Alone transports audiences through use of its four-storey high
projection walls and specialised spatial audio, host a season of events, each inspired by a different facet of Bowie’s creative psyche. Written and directed by 59’s Mark Grimmer (Creative Director for the V&A’s David Bowie Is exhibition) and Tom Wexler, it will showcase some of Bowie’s landmark performances that redefined popular culture, using a mixture of iconic material, selected from thousands of hours
of film in the vaults of the David Bowie Archive in New York, from Space Oddity through
Diamond Dogs and Let’s Dance to ★.
Audiences will have the chance to feel they have travelled through time to experience Bowie in performance - up close and first-hand. Each track in the show has been newly reconfigured to utilise Lightrooms specialised spatial audio system by multiple Olivier and Tony award-winning sound designer Gareth Fry (Harry Potter &; The Cursed Child, David Bowie Is). The show is fully
authorised by the David Bowie Estate.
