First Ever David Bowie World Fan Convention Announced for June

The David Bowie Glamour Fanzine and Sound City have come together to organize the first annual David Bowie World Fan Convention. From June 17th-19th, Bowie enthusiasts will have the opportunity to show their love for the iconic artist in Liverpool’s Mountford Hall.

The unconventional convention will have a number of events and performances to keep fans entertained. Hula-hoop artist Natasha Moonshine will make an appearance, along with dancer Joshua Hubbard and performance artist Pretentious Dross. Drag artist Jonny Woo will serve as a host for the Bowie Ball events. Woo, owner of the London LGBTQ+ venue The Glory, is also a founding member of Glastonbury’s drag scene at NYC Downlow.

The David Bowie Glamour Fanzine and Sound City have hand-picked the musical acts for the convention, with Bowie tribute band, Rebel Heroes, being the first group confirmed. DJs The MenWhoFell2Earth and Sonic Youtha will entice fans to come to the dance floor with Bowie deep cuts, familiar favorites and associated hits.

There will also be an array of art installations and displays. Painter Shaun Lowndes will be exhibiting his surrealist, comic book inspired work, while ceramic artist Maria Primolan will be displaying her series of sculptures, each piece modeled after a different Bowie era. 

Some of Bowie’s closest friends and collaborators will make appearances during the two day event. Influential image makers like Tim Bret-Day and Brian Duffy will answer fan questions and give insight into Bowie’s creative processes and life.
