David Bowie. The Bowie Lives. In Port Dover!

It’s North America’s most adored recreation of Bowie – the magic and the music. The Bowie Lives makes its first visit to Port Dover. And you’re the guest of honour.

Impeccable attention to detail makes this the most authentic revival of the sounds and styles that are David Bowie. Quirky vocals. Precise instrumentation. Lavish outfits.

Incredible performance energy captures the essence of a Bowie concert experience – from Space Oddity to Ziggy Stardust and beyond, featuring multi-award-winning vocalist and Bowie perfectionist, Canada’s own Michael Bell.

Performing to capacity crowds across North America, it’s your turn to take in the quintessential Bowie tribute performance.

“There’s a starman waiting in the sky. He’d like to come and meet us. But he thinks he’d blow our minds…”
