Wonderworld, in collaboration with the David Bowie Estate and visionary filmmaker Brett Morgen, presents an unprecedented event bringing David Bowie’s legendary 1978 Isolar II tour to arenas.
In association with the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale), David Bowie “Stage” will celebrate its world premiere in the Uber Arena Berlin on 14 February 2027. T
The groundbreaking show, assembled from raw, unseen 35mm film, will be presented across multiple screens, with an integrated lighting show and an immersive audio mix.
David Bowie conceived and produced “Stage” in 1978 during the Isolar II concerts at London’s Earls Court, promoting his iconic “Heroes” album. The legendary concerts, untouched in the Bowie Archives for almost 50 years, showcase Bowie at the zenith of his powers as a live performer and are considered among the best live performances of his career.
It has taken five decades for technology to develop enough to bring his vision to life with cutting-edge spatial audio and visual tech. The production blurs the line between cinema and a live concert. Fans will achieve the sensations of attending an authentic David Bowie show.
Brett Morgen unearthed the original footage 10 years ago while working on the Grammy Award-winning Moonage Daydream. As early as 2018, Morgen and the Bowie Estate began discussing the possibility of bringing “Stage” to arenas worldwide, it wasn’t until 2024, when former AEG Live President of International Rob Hallett joined, that the dream became a reality.
A Masterclass in Visuals and Audio Integration, Morgen has spent almost a decade reconfiguring, editing, colour grading, and hand-painting the archival footage. By utilising longer, uninterrupted takes of Bowie, the show creates an intimate atmosphere that mimics a real-time live performance. Coupled with sound and light design by Wonderworld’s Oscar-winning, world-renowned creative team, it will show Bowie and his band in arenas worldwide.
The Earls Court Isolar II performance features Bowie backed by his legendary 1978 touring band, including Adrian Belew (lead guitar), Carlos Alomar (rhythm guitar/musical director), George Murray (bass), Dennis Davis (drums), Roger Powell (keyboards/synthesizer), Sean Mayes (piano), and Simon House (electric violin), performing hits such as Ziggy Stardust, Rebel Rebel, Suffragette City, Fame, The Jean Genie and “Heroes” alongside tracks from the visionary Low & “Heroes” album, widely considered to be two of the most influential records of the past five decades.
David Bowie in “Stage” features Immersive Audio Mapping, mixed by Oscar-winning sound engineer Paul Massey and integrated into a Clair Global audio setup using advanced DSP algorithms and a spread-out flown array system to deliver pristine 7.1 surround sound to every seat in the venue. The Next-Generation Visuals utilise Unilumin/Roe full-range transparent LED screens (70 times 40 displays) to create the illusion that Bowie and his band are physically present on stage. The show is designed for scale and staged in auditoriums and venues with capacities starting at 5,000, enveloping audiences in the atmosphere of a full-scale rock concert for an unprecedented live experience.
