David Bowie Afternoon

Overview

Maybe you made it to Melbourne for ACMI's magnificent David Bowie exhibition. Maybe you counted your pennies and enviously wished you did. Either way, you can get your fix of the pop culture icon a bit closer to home at the New Globe Theatre's David Bowie Afternoon.

For one Sunday only, all things Major Tom, Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, Aladdin Sane and Jareth the Goblin King are in fashion. They can be heroes, just for one day — though the documentary snippets, performance footage and music videos featured during the three-hour celebration will last in your memory for much, much longer, we promise.

As will the centerpiece of the show, aka the beloved 1986 flick by the name of Labyrinth. Revisiting this cult classic is always an enjoyable way to show your Bowie enthusiasm. Doing so while surrounded by other fanatics, enjoying drinks from the bar, and watching rare clips before and afterwards — now that's enough to spark a whole new case of modern Bowie love.
