Como parte da coleção, haverá eventos especiais, lançamentos, aniversários, colaborações e experiências para fãs ao redor do mundo, bem como mercadorias de edição limitada feitas especialmente para a ocasião.
Para dar início à iniciativa, há uma nova parceria com a Nordstrom, que celebrará a lenda da música com três lojas imersivas nas suas lojas insignia de Seattle, NYC e Chicago.
Each will hold a range of exclusive and limited-edition collections, and collaborations also come from Undercover, Marc Jacobs, Paul Smith, and AllSaints.
Também nos EUA, há uma celebração de Bowie no Rock & Roll Hall of Fame em Cleveland, que está hospedando um pop‑up de varejo que funcionará de meados de novembro até janeiro em sua loja de museu, loja online e local no aeroporto.
The Rock Hall will also be holding some fan events, including Bowie-themed presentations, trivia, and an exhibition. More details about the latter, including the photographers included in the exhibition will be announced at a later date.
Other new events as part of ‘Bowie80’ include Strange Fascination – a major photography exhibition celebrating the artistry and evolution of the songwriter – which is held at Morrison Hotel Gallery in New York City and West Hollywood next February, as well as a new live symphonic concert production called ‘BOWIE (breaking) GLASS’.
The latter is developed by Schirmer Theatrical together with Østre Gasværk Teater, and brings Bowie’s iconic songs into a new musical and visual dialogue with Philip Glass.
It will have its world premiere in Copenhagen in Spring 2027.
Merchandising de edição limitada para a celebração do 80º aniversário de Bowie será lançado pela Perryscope Productions, representantes de merchandising de longa data de David Bowie, em sua loja virtual, e outras colaborações incluem parcerias com Phix, Rockoff, Rowdy Sprout, Roots of Fight, Stoned Immaculate, Girl Skateboards e mais.
More details about the collaborations will be announced at a later date.
The celebrations of Bowie’s milestone birthday come after another huge celebration of the late singer launched earlier this year at London’s Lightroom. David Bowie: You’re Not Alone is a visual spectacle that tells his story using iconic performances, rarely seen interviews, and never-before-exhibited material, as well as huge screens and state-of-the-art audio.
Para alinhar com “Bowie80”, o show será lançado em Manchester e Brighton, além de seu primeiro local na Europa, Port des Lumières em Hamburgo.
On top of that, there will also be another collaboration with the V&A in London for ‘Bowie80’ – this time showing artefacts from Bowie’s 90,000-item archive. After launching in London, it will head on tour, going to Dundee and Blackpool in 2027, before visiting further venues in 2028 and 2029.

Além do novo álbum, foi confirmado que a casa onde Bowie escreveu muitas de suas primeiras canções, localizada em 4 Plaistow Grove, será restaurada e abrirá ao público em 2027.
Em 2019, o NME também analisou a música inicial de Bowie e conversou com seus amigos próximos e colaboradores sobre o documentário Finding Fame.
