Celebrating David Bowie is announcing a UK/European tour that begins on January 7 in Brussels, Belgium. The run will stage shows in UK, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, and France.
Peter Murphy will appear on all dates joining Fishbone’s Angelo Moore, CdB creator/producer/featured artist Scrote, sax great Ron Dziubla (Jon Batiste, Joe Bonamassa), and Iggy Pop’s rhythm section, which is former Bowie bandleader/guitarist Kevin Armstong, bassist Ben Ellis, and drummer Mat Hector, to interpret Bowie’s greatest hits with a special emphasis on Bowie's Ziggy Stardust proto punk era, his Berlin trilogy records (Low, Heroes, and Lodger) and his later Trent Reznor infused years.
Peter Murphy shares, “Such a surprise to be invited to celebrate Bowie in this outing, and alongside a great line up. So enticing to play the part. With such a large catalog to choose from, different songs affect us and the audience in varying measure. It's always amazing to feel the excitement of a Bowie audience beaming directly at you. Pure adrenaline! So much love for David."
Scrote (aka Angelo Bundini) partners with executive Miles Copeland to produce the tour again this year. The appearances staged in 2022 were a resounding success across The United States with strong attendance and critical acclaim.
CdB creator, producer and featured artist Scrote shares, “I’m thrilled to honor David again with this new explosive collection of truly unique and brilliant artists and musicians. This new show represents two sides of Bowie. With Peter Murphy, we have the dark baritone shrouded in mystery and wonder. With Angelo Moore, the tuneful tenor gleefully singing Bowie favorites while delivering it all with the bombast & style he is known for.”
Angelo Moore offers, “One of the things that stuck out while abroad was our group visit to the David Bowie Is... exhibit in Tokyo and how they cover so much of his life, music, fashion, and creative processes. I'm excited we will be doing more of his unique aesthetic in our upcoming shows.”
