Get ready to put on your red shoes and dance the blues – we’re over the moon to announce that Absolute Bowie, the UK’s ultimate David Bowie tribute act, is joining our incredible 2025 festival lineup!
A Space Oddity Like No Other
For nearly 2 decades, these Starmen have been blowing minds across the country, scooping up awards for ‘Best Tribute Band’ and ‘Best Bowie’ along the way. Now they’re bringing their spectacular show to Glastonbudget, and trust us, this isn’t your average tribute act.
Picture this: a mind-bending journey through Bowie’s greatest hits, complete with theatrical costume ch-ch-ch-changes that’ll transport you from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke in the blink of an eye. The NME calls it “a lovingly crafted Bowie show,” while the Mail on Sunday reckons it’s “an unmissable tribute act” – and who are we to argue?
Meet the Band Heroes
Leading this five-piece powerhouse is John O’Neill, whose incredible vocals channel the Starman himself. He’s backed by an outstanding crew: Andy Marr channelling Mick Ronson on guitar, Telegram Sam laying down the bass lines, Alex Paolillo working magic on the keyboards, and Alessandro Riccardi keeping the beat on drums. When the stars align, they’re joined by Fiona Asbury, whose saxophone adds that extra sprinkle of Bowie magic.
Sound and Vision
The setlist? It’s an absolute belter! These guys have carefully crafted a show that’ll take you on a journey from ‘Absolute Beginners’ to ‘Ziggy Stardust’, with all the stations in between. You’ll hear gems from classic albums like ‘Hunky Dory’, ‘Heroes’, and ‘Let’s Dance’, right through to Bowie’s later works—every era, every iconic moment, wrapped up in one unforgettable performance.
Time to Get Your Tickets!
Don’t miss out on this chance to dance in the moonlight with the UK’s finest Bowie tribute. This is one Space Oddity you won’t want to miss!
