Now Rias returns to the core. In his exclusive solo performance "Church Of Bowie," he travels the country armed only with his acoustic 12-string guitar and his deep, compelling voice. He takes you on an intimate journey through Bowie’s masterful catalogue, with a mix of masterpieces, hidden gems, and personal anecdotes. Rias shares stories about his personal journey as an artist, his experiences with Bowie’s former band members, and his almost spiritual connection with the man who inspired millions.

It is a tribute and an unforgettable experience for Bowie fans and for anyone who wants to be touched by timeless music.

But the show is above all a great musical celebration of band and audience together. The rousing rhythms, moving melodies, and compelling lyrics leave no one untouched. Sitting still is impossible. Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience the power of music and become part of an unforgettable evening full of hope and dreams.
