VALENTINE FOX PRODUCTIONS
Presents
Ziggy Stardust: 50th Anniversary Show

50 years ago, on June 16 1972, David Bowie‘s iconic album “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars” landed on earth, and rock n’ roll has never been the same! Hop on in to your spaceship and head to the Rio Theatre for a magical evening celebrating this seminal masterpiece.

A listening party of sorts, playing the album front to back with a live band, and featuring stellar vocalists from Vancity’s best bands…

We acknowledge that this event takes place on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples–Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. We also acknowledge the incredible resilience of Indigenous peoples in the face of centuries of trauma caused by colonization, genocide, and ongoing racism. We encourage our audience members to commit to decolonization practices. Find out more about decolonization and why is it essential as we work towards reconciliation here.
