Dublin Bowie Festival

The 3rd Dublin Bowie Festival takes place citywide in Dublin from Friday 5th of January and ends on the second anniversary of David Bowies death; Wednesday January 10th.

After the success of the last 2 years the Festival program is greatly expanded to include more events and more venues and encapsulates the profound influence and inspiration that Bowie had on both popular culture and art.

Topped by a heavyweight line up of live music, the program also includes movie & documentary screenings, Q&A's, debates & discussions, literary events, fashion, fine art, merchandise markets, a quiz, a Festival club, illustration, karaoke, DJ's and lots lots more…

The venues include Vicar St, The George, Whelans, The Grand Social, The Workmans, The Sugar Club, The Mercantile Hotel, The Opium Rooms, The Liquor Rooms and many other creative spaces, all coming together to pay respects to one of the most important figures in our cultural history, an artist who illuminated popular culture in a way that's unlikely to be repeated.

Bowie was an first and foremost an entertainer but he also intrigued and provoked while informing his music with painting, literature, film, fashion and stage. We aim to mirror Bowie's fascination with the arts by providing Dublin with one of the most exciting events to hit the city in years.
