Liverpool set to host the first David Bowie World Fan Convention in 2022

The first ever David Bowie World Fan Convention is due to take place across multiple venues in Liverpool next summer.

Scheduled for June 17-19, 2022, the inaugural event will see a host of Bowie collaborators and affiliates presenting panels, live performances, and a “Bowie Ball” to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the artist’s classic album ‘The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars’.

Former band members and musical collaborators including Carlos Alomar, Robin Clark, Gail Ann Dorsey, Donny McCaslin, and ‘Spiders From Mars’ drummer Woody Woodmansey are all confirmed for events at the convention, which is being organised by the David Bowie Glamour fanzine and Liverpool music festival producers Sound City.

Fans will also be able to get their hands on limited edition prints, memorabilia and rare releases via ‘The Duffy Archive’, headed up by music and fashion photographer Brian Duffy, who took the iconic photo of Bowie’s lightning bolt-adorned face for the ‘Aladdin Sane’ album cover.

The classic sci-fi movie, based on Walter Tevis’ 1963 novel of the same name, marked one of Bowie’s most memorable roles, as Thomas Jerome Newton – an alien posing as a human in an attempt to save his home planet.
