Bowie80: 2027 symphonic show, exhibitions and London guide

Bowie80 announces a Copenhagen symphonic premiere and touring exhibitions. Separate confirmed plans from dates still to come, with practical London viewing details.

Bowie80 launched its anniversary programme on October 5, 2026, with events continuing through 2027, the year of Bowie’s 80th birthday. The official bowie80.davidbowie.com address redirects to the new programme hub. For listeners, the useful distinction is between the announced musical and audiovisual experiences and the campaign’s retail collaborations: this is a programme announcement, not a named new album or a complete calendar of ticketed dates.

The new BOWIE (breaking) GLASS production pairs Bowie’s original recordings with live vocalists, musicians and an orchestra, according to the announcement, bringing his songs and voice into dialogue with Philip Glass. Developed by Schirmer Theatrical and Østre Gasværk Teater, it is planned to premiere in Copenhagen in spring 2027; the production’s own site narrows that to May 2027 at Østre Gasværk Teater. That page offers an updates signup, but does not give a specific performance date, price or ticket-sale opening. Follow the production link below for those details rather than booking around an assumed day.

Bowie80 also announces 2027 runs of David Bowie: You’re Not Alone in Manchester, Brighton and Hamburg’s Port des Lumières. It describes performances, interviews and archive material presented through large screens and audio, distinct from the live symphonic production. The V&A’s David Bowie: On Tour archive display is announced to start in Dundee before moving to Blackpool in 2027. The October 5 announcement gives no exact opening dates for those regional runs; it should not be read as a current ticket-availability notice.

The existing London You’re Not Alone show provides a separate option. Lightroom’s current listing advertises booking through January 10, 2027 at 12 Lewis Cubitt Square, King’s Cross, with an approximately one-hour presentation running on a loop. The venue lists adult tickets from £25 and student or under-18 tickets from £15, plus a £2 transaction fee per order. Those are advertised starting prices, not a tested checkout quote or inventory guarantee. Slots are sold every half-hour, and the venue asks visitors to arrive no more than 15 minutes before their booked slot; staying for another loop is subject to capacity.

For photography rather than a music performance, Bowie80 says Morrison Hotel Gallery’s Strange Fascination is planned for early February 2027 in New York City and West Hollywood, with further details due in January. Use the official hub to track the still-unannounced openings and the production site for the Copenhagen premiere. London’s current dates and prices should not be carried over to the new cities, and this guide has not completed a signup or tested any ticket checkout.
