The Celebrating David Bowie tribute tour will return to the road this fall with a lineup featuring Todd Rundgren, Adrian Belew (King Crimson, Talking Heads), Royston Langdon (Spacehog), Angelo Moore (Fishbone), and Jeffrey Gaines.
“David Bowie was a master,” Langdon said in a statement. “It’s impossible to put into words quite how much he taught me. It gives me a huge thrill to get to honor Mr. B. & to be a small part of this immense celebration of his life & work with these world-class musicians and everyone, who like me feels his energy alive and vital around me now just as it was then & forever shall be.”
The backing band will include bassist Angeline Saris, drummer Michael Urbano, saxophonist Ron Dziubla, and guitarist Scrote (Angelo Bundini), who started the Celebrating David Bowie tour back in 2017.
“One of the things we’re doing differently on this tour is featuring a three-guitar attack,” Scrote told Rolling Stone. “David has always been famous for his spectacular guitarists—the epic solos of Mick Ronson, the bluesy feel of Earl Slick, the funkiness of Carlos Alomar and Nile Rodgers, the bombast of Reeves Gabrels, and the otherworldly guitar of Adrian Belew who is still one of the most original guitarists working today. To explore all of these guitar sides of Bowie’s songs, we’re highlighting Adrian’s brilliance, Todd’s guitar wizardry, and whatever guitar mayhem I can muster in between.”
The tour will commence with a show at San Diego’s Balboa Theatre on October 6th, just a few weeks after Moonage Daydream, Brett Morgen‘s new, highly anticipated David Bowie documentary, hits theaters.
