A glitteringglam rock non-stop circus Bowie party!

REBEL by Highwire Entertainment presented by Byron Theatre and Nicholas Clark Management FRIDAY 1 JULY, 8PM BOOK NOW: www.byrontheatre.com

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 spectacular heart stopping sideshow.

Live music combined with circus and comedy brings to life an incredible body of work that spanned over 50 years, and an 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 your Bowie fantasies realised – a live band, breathtaking circus, spectacular rock and roll sideshow.

REBEL is much more than a tribute show, with aesthetics and theatricality inspired Bowie and fed into a live rock and roll circus extravaganza.

Headlined by the incredible multi-award winning Stewart Reeve, and featuring a rockstar band of artists from across artistic genres and co-created by Highwire Entertainment, the production house behind Rouge, Papillon and Pop PartyThrowdown among others, REBEL is a non-stop circus rock and roll party.

Free tickets for visiting artist program

The Northern Rivers Conservatorium Executive Director Anita Bellman is thrilled to announce that there will be free tickets for all food-affected members of our community to attend the NRC 2022 Visiting Artist program made possible with the support of our friends at Musica Viva and Southern Cross University.

Hywel Sims, CEO of Musica Viva said: “As a long-standing supporter of the Northern Rivers Conservatorium, Musica Viva Australia is delighted to provide support to this year’s concerts. This support will help the Conservatorium offer free seats to those affected by the devastating foods, the effects of which will be felt for some time to come in the community.”

The NRC 2022 Visiting Artist program was to be presented at Lismore City Hall which is the premier venue for live performance in the region. The damage sustained during the devastating foods means that Lismore City Hall will not open again until 2022. It is extremely fortunate for our community that the Whitebrook Theatre at Southern Cross University is able to accommodate the program this year.

“Through Nature to Eternity” will be held at Southern Cross University’s Whitebrook Theatre on Saturday 2nd July from 7:30pm with light meals and refreshments for purchase from 6pm. Lior will also present a songwriting workshop in the Music Block at 1:30pm.
