The Ballroom Blitz: A Total Glam Bam For Bowie.

In the early 1970s, a musical rebellion took place in Britain. These revolutionaries, armed with fantastical lyrics, outrageous personas and sexual ambiguity created a push back against the macho culture of rock and roll. They covered '60s flower power and bubblegum in glitter, zipped it up in platform boots and called it glam rock.

In tribute to these rebels and this rebellion – the very rebellion that gave rise to Bowie and his legendary creation Ziggy Stardust – Days of Bowie has decided to turn up, turn out and turn on for this year’s ball with The Ballroom Blitz: A Total Glam Bam for Bowie.
