David Bowie’s Unreleased 'Stage' to Premiere in Berlin as Immersive Arena Experience

Newly discovered 35mm negatives remastered by Brett Morgen, paired with spatial audio, transparent LED and three-screen projection, are designed to recreate the sensation of a live Bowie concert in the Bowie80 arena program.

Overview

  • Organizers confirmed Tuesday that the world premiere will be held on Feb. 14, 2027 at Berlin’s Uber Arena as part of the 77th Berlinale.
  • The presentation is built around recently found 35mm camera negatives from Bowie’s 1978 Isolar II tour that Brett Morgen discovered while assembling Moonage Daydream and spent years restoring and reconfiguring.
  • The show uses a multi-screen format with transparent LED panels, an elaborate lighting scheme by Patrick Woodroffe, and a bespoke 7.1 surround and spatial audio mix by Paul Massey to place audiences at the center of the performance.
  • Ticketing windows were set with a presale opening Oct. 28, 2026 and a general sale on Oct. 30, 2026, and producers have announced a Europe arena run in May 2027 followed by U.K. dates in June and July including Earls Court.
  • The project is an official collaboration between Brett Morgen, Wonderworld and the David Bowie Estate and serves as a marquee element of the Bowie80 program that will channel archival restoration into large-scale live presentations for fans.
