Simon Le Bon, frontman of Duran Duran and one of British music’s most enduring icons, has been confirmed for Bowie: Live on the Loch, the landmark two-day charity celebration marking the 10th anniversary of David Bowie’s passing.

The event will take place at the beautiful 5 star destination Cameron House on the banks of Loch Lomond on 7 and 8 November 2026, in aid of Save the Children.

Duran Duran have paid tribute to David Bowie throughout their career, celebrating one of their greatest inspirations through a series of acclaimed recordings and live performances spanning more than four decades. From early covers of “Fame” and “Diamond Dogs” to memorable live renditions of “Starman,” “Rebel Rebel,” and a moving “Planet Earth”/“Space Oddity” medley following Bowie’s passing in 2016, his influence has remained woven into the band’s story.

Le Bon’s connection to Bowie is especially deep and personal: Duran Duran opened for Bowie on his landmark Glass Spider Tour in 1987, and in the years that followed he forged a genuine friendship with the artist. In 2021, the band released a heartfelt recording of “Five Years” on what would have been Bowie’s birthday, alongside a performance for the global A Bowie Celebration livestream. For Le Bon, whose own songwriting was profoundly inspired by Bowie, these tributes reflect not only admiration for one of music’s greatest innovators, but also a lasting personal connection to the artist who helped shape his creative journey.

Joining Le Bon in a new wave of additions to the line-up are Bernard Fowler, Beth Orton, Camille O’Sullivan, Alison Mosshart and Terry Edwards.

All join the previously announced Callum Beattie and Bowie’s historic Glastonbury 2000 band - Earl Slick, Mike Garson, Gail Ann Dorsey, Mark Plati and Sterling Campbell - for an extraordinary weekend of music, photography, film and dining on the banks of Loch Lomond.

The weekend is a powerful continuation of Bowie’s philanthropic legacy and his profound connection to Scotland - from the birth of his iconic Ziggy Stardust persona, to his legendary 1997 performance at the Barrowlands in Glasgow. The event also coincides with the 60th anniversary of Bowie’s first show in Scotland, on 3 April 1965 at the Palais in Dundee as David Bowie & The Buzz, supporting Johnny Kidd & The Pirates. All proceeds will go to Save the Children, a cause Bowie famously championed throughout his life, most publicly at his 50th birthday concert at Madison Square Garden in 1997.
