Lightroom announced today that its acclaimed immersive show David Bowie: You’re Not Alone will be extended into the spring of 2027, along with a ‘Bowie Lates’ party on 8th January to celebrate what would have been the artist’s 80th birthday.
The show, produced by Lightroom and designed by Journey, combines vast amounts of archival performance and interview footage and is narrated by Bowie himself through transcripts of interviews. State-of-the-art spatial audio systems are also used to create a fully immersive experience celebrating the life and work of one of the world’s great musical artists.
Due to popular demand, the show will be extended until 10th April 2027, with screenings on Fridays and Saturdays at 6pm and 7:30pm.
The ‘Bowie Lates’ party on 8th January will see Bowie fans - many in glam outfits - gather to celebrate his music with a screening of the show, followed by drinks and music in the bar.

Richard Slaney, Lightroom Chief Executive, said:
The response to David Bowie: You’re Not Alone has been phenomenal and we’re delighted to be able to extend the run in London as we mark what would have been Bowie’s 80th birthday. The show has caught the imagination of an audience across generations. We’re looking forward to welcoming visitors on 8th January to enjoy the show, raise a glass and enjoy some great music.
David Bowie: You’re Not Alone was produced by Lightroom and designed by Journey. It was written and directed by 59’s Mark Grimmer (Creative Director for the V&A’s David Bowie Is exhibition) and Tom Wexler (Matisse: Joy). It showcases some of Bowie’s landmark performances that redefined popular culture, using a mixture of iconic, rarely seen and never-before-exhibited material, selected from thousands of hours of film in the vaults of the David Bowie Archive in New York, from Space Oddity through Diamond Dogs and ”Heroes” to ★.
David Bowie: You're Not Alone was made in close collaboration with and authorised by the David Bowie Estate.
Mark Grimmer said:
It says something about our relationship with artistic heroes that we're drawn to mystery, otherness, the alien. In Bowie's case, this is our construct, not his. Throughout his career, Bowie repeatedly resisted being figured as anything but human. Rather than undermining his mystique, we designed a show to celebrate Bowie as a champion of human creativity - focusing on the message he expressed time and again: that art, in all its forms, is our best hope for understanding what it means to be alive.
