David Bowie's Scottish links celebrated in new exhibition

As musician Nile Rodgers once noted, David Bowie did not just make art - he was art.

So it is apt that his life and work should be celebrated in the V&A Dundee, within earshot of the first venue he played in Scotland under his new stage name.

David Bowie and the Buzz were not even the headline act that night at the Palais de Dans in 1966, but it was the start of a relationship with Scottish fans which continues today.

David Bowie: On Tour is the first exhibition to showcase items from the singer's archive, which was acquired by the V&A in London in 2023.
