The quintet recently performed that same show with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra to great acclaim. iOTA’s performances of ‘Space Oddity’ and ‘Life on Mars’ were noted as highlights. Tim Rogers ‘Young Americans’ was praised alongside his take on ‘Lazarus’ from Bowie’s final album.

All together 28 of Bowie’s songs will be featured in the show ranging from the big hits to lesser known obscure songs.

“Bowie had amazing depth, and he didn’t disappoint even at the very end.” said iOTA.
