# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Ground Control: The Music of David Bowie @ Qirkz
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: Calling all David Bowie fans, come celebrate the man’s music and artistry with GROUND CONTROL, a sensational 7-piece ensemble that delivers an authentic, 100% live show covering all the hits and choice deep cuts from across the Starman’s 50-year career.

With four-part harmonies, guitars, bass, drums, keys, percussion and saxophone, Ground Control takes the classic recordings as the foundation of their sonic celebration, providing the canvas for singer Dan Murphy’s remarkable vocal likeness and muscular take on Bowie’s stage presentation. The combination places Ground Control at the peak of Bowie interpretations, all-live with no backing tracks.

From the 1960s Hunky Dory though the 70s Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke, into the 80s Absolute Beginners and onwards, Ground Control delivers two sumptuous sets packed with the hits that made the memories you love: Space Oddity, Moonage Daydream, Let’s Dance, Rebel Rebel, Modern Love, Heroes, Queen Bitch, Golden Years, Fashion, Fame, Diamond Dogs, Life on Mars, Changes, Young Americans – and many more.

It’s a must for Bowie fans.
