The show will extend from its original closing date 10th October to run in evenings through the rest of 2026, with a full week of shows planned from 5th – 10th January to mark what would have been David Bowie’s 80th birthday on 8th January.

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 and see it open in Manchester. The show offers the chance to feel the excitement of those groundbreaking performances, and get inside the mind of one of the greats. ”
David Bowie: You’re Not Alone, produced by Lightroom and designed by 59, a Journey studio, was written and directed by 59’s Mark Grimmer (Creative Director for the V&A’s David Bowie Is exhibition) and Tom Wexler. 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 authorized 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.”
