SUMMARY:Bowie Ball - David Bowie’s 79th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Chicago it is time to experience Bowie Ball\, where we celebrate the legend\, the chameleon\, and the man… David Bowie. \nBowie Ball is being held on Saturday\, Jan 3rd 2026 to celebrate the life and legend of David Bowie on what would have been his 79th Birthday. So get into the spirit with us – glam it up\, dress like a dandy and let’s love the alien with some glitter on top. \nBowie Ball is a glam and drag dance party founded in Chicago by DJ Heaven Malone. Bowie Ball is on Saturday\, January 3rd\, 2026 in Chicago. Bowie Ball 2016 on David Bowie’s Birthday celebrated Bowie’s last studio album “Blackstar” and unfortunately we later learned\, his passing into stardust. Bowie Ball 2015 coincided with the end of “David Bowie Is”\, the multimedia exhibition on one of the most influential and iconic artists of our time – David Bowie. For Bowie Ball 2014\, even David Bowie tweeted and posted about our incredibly extravagant and packed partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art to announce their David Bowie Is exhibition. Bowie Ball 2013 came with the surprise announcement that after 10 years of silence\, a brand new album titled “The Next Day” was being released.
