David Bowie World Fan Convention, St George’s Hall Liverpool, 26th-28th July 2024

Now in its third annual outing, the David Bowie World Fan Convention returns to Liverpool at the weekend to celebrate the theme for 2024 – ‘The Year of the Diamond Dogs’. 50 years on since the release of one of Bowie’s classic albums, fans from around the world will get together in the company of some very special guests including Alan Yentob, George Murray, Ava Cherry, Carlos Alomar, Ken Scott and Woody Woodmansey. It promises to be an absolute treat for fans, with opportunities to see live performances and attend in conversation events looking at Bowie’s recordings, fashion and role of muse behind the camera lens for both Kevin Cummins, who surely has one of the most comprehensive catalogues of music photography across the decades, and Denis O’Regan, whose exhibition of photos taken whilst touring with his friend received much acclaim.

There’s a Bowie swap-shop and the Bowie Ball, now an established centrepiece of #BowieCon, offering the opportunity for all the sweet things to don their best glam rags and dance the night away with a bunch of like-minded partygoers. Limited remaining tickets can be purchased here and more details can be found on the website.
