David Bowie, circus glam rock concert!
Synopsis
Rebel is a live circus rock tribute to the original rebel, David Bowie. Stage dive into the mosh pit for a night of live music, glittering glam rock, phenomenal acrobatics, breathtaking aerials and a spectacular heart-stopping sideshow.
Live music, combined with circus and comedy, brings David Bowie’s incredible body of work, that spanned over 50 years, to life. It captures his unique aesthetic that broke ground and inspired generations.
Rebel has been inspired by the words of Bowie – “I want to tart rock up. I don’t want to climb out of my fantasies in order to go up on stage—I want to take them on stage with me.”
Rebel is headlined by the incredible, multi-award winning Stewart Reeve, and features a rockstar band of artists from across artistic genres. It’s co-created by Highwire Entertainment, the production house behind Rouge, Papillon and Pop Party Throwdown among others. Rebel is a non-stop circus and rock and roll party.
Rebel & Highwire Entertainment are excited to partner with NCM Management to professionally represent this work nationally and internationally to the presenters network. NCM officially endorses ‘Rebel’ alongside its roster of first class and high demand shows.

A pervasive feeling of pure joy, and a Bowie-esque celebration of the weird and glamorous

Glam rock and roll cabaret with heart stopping physical feats, a costume selection to die for and enough talent to make you sick... Our only complaint -- we wanted more!

A circle or square section of stage that is 5x5m is required for the full version of the show. A standard aerial rigging point is required for the full version performance of REBEL. A ‘Non Aerial’ version of the show is available to suit venues without the above requirements, however this should be discussed with the agency/producer prior for finalising a performance booking and may alter running time and circus acts within the production.
