David Bowie’s closest collaborators are set to return to the Scottish landscape he adored for a spectacular two-day tribute marking ten years since his death.
The music legend passed away on January 10, 2016, at the age of 69, following a private battle with cancer.
In his honour, the luxury Cameron House resort on Loch Lomond will host Bowie: Live on the Loch on November 7 to 8 2026, transforming the venue into a full-scale celebration of the Starman while raising money for Save the Children, a charity Bowie famously supported.
The weekend also coincides with another milestone — 60 years since Bowie first performed in Scotland, when he appeared in Dundee in 1965 with his early band The Buzz. Organisers say the event will honour both his artistic legacy and his long-standing philanthropic streak.
The festivities begin with a black-tie gala dinner created by Michelin-star chef Graeme Cheevers, followed by Earl Slick’s Rock ’n’ Roll Guitar Auction, featuring rare, signed guitars donated by rock legends including Peter Frampton and Guns N’ Roses star Duff McKagan. More contributors are expected to be announced.
Sunday’s show is set to be the emotional heart of the weekend, reuniting Bowie’s original bandmates for a one-off performance. Pianist Mike Garson, guitarist Earl Slick, bassist and vocalist Gail Ann Dorsey, multi-instrumentalist Mark Plati and drummer Sterling Campbell — the same powerhouse lineup behind Bowie’s iconic Glastonbury 2000 set — will take the stage alongside special guests. The concert will be woven with rare, never-before-seen film footage and a curated photography exhibition spread throughout the resort.
Funds will be raised through ticket sales, exclusive merchandise, live pledges, the global livestream and the high-stakes guitar auction, supporting Save the Children’s work providing education, healthcare and protection for children in the UK and worldwide.
Earl Slick said Bowie always helped quietly and without fanfare, adding that “more kids need more help” and that the star would have backed the cause wholeheartedly.
Save the Children’s George Graham called the event a vital boost during a dangerous time for children globally, while Cameron House boss Will Oakley said hosting the reunion was a “privilege”.
Bowie’s connection to the charity stretches back decades — he famously donated the proceeds of his 50th birthday concert at Madison Square Garden in 1997, which featured an all-star cast including Frank Black, Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, Robert Smith, Lou Reed and Billy Corgan.
