The outfit will play the album in its entirety, which includes hit songs ‘Space Oddity,’ ‘Ziggy Stardust’ and ‘Rebel Rebel.’

The show sees the musicians return to home turf after touring New Zealand last year.

This time around, Ultimate Bowie are shaking things up by altering the setlist from show to show thanks to Bowie’s huge back catalogue of songs.

Fans have been asked to request songs they would like to see the band perform.

Since forming in 2009, they have mastered Bowie’s signature style and sound to be regarded as one of the best Bowie tribute acts in the UK.
