Ground Control – Bowie Tribute
Ground Control takes centre stage at Musicon in The Hague for a heartfelt tribute to David Bowie. The band has been honouring Bowie's legacy for over a decade and is considered the longest-running David Bowie tribute band in the Netherlands.
Ground Control deliberately avoids imitation. Frontman Ries de Wit, who has had a deep connection with Bowie's music since childhood, brings a personal and sincere interpretation to every song. The result is a show that feels familiar yet has a distinct identity of its own. The setlist spans Bowie's entire career: from the space-age imagery of Space Oddity and the glam-rock of Ziggy Stardust to arena anthems like Heroes and Let's Dance, and the late-career masterpiece Lazarus. Visuals of Bowie's iconic alter egos provide the theatrical backdrop that this music deserves.
Ground Control at Musicon in The Hague
Musicon is one of The Hague's established live music venues and provides the right setting for a tribute show like this: intimate enough to experience the performance up close, large enough to carry the energy Ground Control brings to the stage. Doors open at 20:00, the show starts at 20:30 and wraps up around 23:00.
A decade of keeping Bowie's legacy alive
For over ten years, Ground Control has performed across the Netherlands, keeping the music of one of pop history's most influential artists alive without resorting to a straightforward copy act. If Bowie's music means something to you, this is an evening worth catching.
