Bowies Down Brunswick + David Bowie Night
Turn and face the strange.
Overview
In the words of the great man himself, there'll be plenty of people turning and facing the strange in Fortitude Valley on November 5. In fact, local pop culture legend Kristian Fletcher is throwing a multi-part Bowie bonanza for the city's real cool cats.
Event one: a 30th anniversary screening of Bowie's magical remind-you-of-the-babe performance in '80s childhood wonder Labyrinth, though if you don't already have a ticket, it is already sold out. Don't worry, events two and three will have you dancing in the streets in no time. Actually, the second part of the agenda is taking that literally.
Bowies Down Brunswick is exactly what it sounds like, and it's groovy as. Dress up as your favourite version of the all-round icon (we love his early '80s 'Modern Love' stylings ourselves), meet outside New Farm Cinemas, offer a gold coin donation for the Cancer Council and prepare to dance your way down to the New Globe Theatre with your fellow costumed Bowie lovers. Along the way, a selection of venues down will come alive with Bowie music, themed cocktails and more. Yep, it's basically a roaming Bowie party.
Then there's the third and final shenanigans of the day, aka David Bowie Night (or the Bowies Down Brunswick After Party). Watch all the Bowie rare clips, live footage and music videos you've always dreamed of on New Globe's big screen, and just continue to soak in the glorious that is one of the best performers to ever live. We can be heroes, indeed.
