Niki Luparelli’s Glam Rock Bowie Spectacular Returns

Boston’s most glamorous Black Friday and Black Saturday tradition is back. The 14th Annual David B⚯bie! Tribute Weekend returns to the Crystal Ballroom for two electrifying nights of live music, femme fatale glamour, and full throttle glitter rock from Niki Luparelli and her all girl Total Blam Blam David B⚯bie Band. If you are ready to trade long checkout lines for legendary hits, this is your holiday weekend upgrade.

Niki “Starbust” Luparelli has been bringing her high voltage Bowie spectacular to Somerville for fourteen unforgettable years. Each show blends powerhouse vocals, a full band channeling Bowie from every era, and a dazzling lineup of B☋rlesque performers who turn the Crystal Ballroom into a sparkling universe of glitter, glam, and stardust.

Instead of spending Black Friday weekend stuck in crowds, fans pack the Crystal Ballroom to celebrate the King of Glitter Rock with a show that Boston Magazine once called a Moonage Daydream. It is the Bowiest of Showies and it returns this year with even more spectacle.

Expect iconic hits, deep cuts, choreography, comedy, and a room full of people who worship at the Church of Bowie with the same devotion as Niki herself. From Ziggy to Stardust to the Thin White Duke, the show pays homage to every era with style. Gorgeous dancers glide in and out of the shadows, the band tears through Bowie’s legendary songbook, and every seat offers a perfect view of the spectacle unfolding on stage.
