David Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy musicians reunite for European tour
Guitarist Carlos Alomar and bassist George Murray – the two surviving members of David Bowie’s ‘DAM Trio’ who backed him on the Berlin Trilogy of albums – will tour together this autumn for the first time since 1979.
The Back To Berlin Tour 2025 – honouring David Bowie and third DAM Trio member Dennis Davis, who both died in 2016 – will also feature Bowie’s Live Aid guitarist Kevin Armstrong, singer Cunio, drummer Tal Bergman, keyboardist Axel Tosca and backing vocalist Lea Lorien. The audiovisual element of the show will be overseen by Bowie archivist and video editor, Nacho.
The band pledge to faithfully perform songs from Low, Heroes and Lodger, some of which never found their way into Bowie’s live sets.
“Where other bands have toured Bowie’s songs extensively since his passing, these songs haven’t been performed the way they were meant to be. Until now,” says Alomar. “The Spiders From Mars are well known, but the DAM Trio remains rock and roll’s best-kept secret. It’s time to honour our legacy, including Dennis’s.
“The fans we’ve met along the way are the ones who have driven this. We feel obliged to do it because they’ve waited so long for us to return to these songs. This could very well be our last spin of Europe.”
The tour begins on November 7 at Berlin’s Metropol – fittingly just a short walk from Hansa Studios where much of the Berlin Trilogy was recorded. See the full list of dates below. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday (January 31) from here.
