NEWS: Bowie’s ‘Berlin Trilogy’ Musicians Reform for Tour

David Bowie’s right-hand-musicians during his late-1970’s Berlin period reunite to celebrate the legacy of the albums they made together as Carlos Alomar presents The D.A.M. Trilogy – touring over 16 European dates in late 2025. Touring with original ‘Heroes ‘bassist, George Murray, for the first time since 1979, the special, audiovisual Back To Berlin Tour 2025 opens in the German capital’s Metropol concert hall on Fri 7th November 2025. Honouring their work together, as well as Bowie’s enduring legacy, legendary guitarist, Alomar, who recorded with Bowie across eleven albums, and Murray pledge to faithfully perform arrangements from the three albums.

The D.A.M. Trio – Dennis Davis, Carlos Alomar and George Murray – emerged from a rich tapestry of musical experiences, each member bringing their unique talents to the forefront of David Bowie’s most experimental and iconic works. Released between 1977 and 1979, the three ‘Berlin’ albums – Low, ‘Heroes’ and Lodger stand as one of the high points of Bowie’s back catalogue. Having lost drummer, Dennis Davis, to cancer in 2016 the D.AM Trilogy band includes four additional musicians. Now, the ‘faster’ songs from the albums are the focus of 16 shows with an expanded band, including Tin Machine’s Kevin Armstrong and vocalist, Cunio.

Carlos Alomar explains the motivation to tour almost a decade after Bowie’s death:

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,” he says. “The Spiders from Mars are well known, but the D.A.M. Trio remains rock and roll’s best-kept secret. It’s time to honor 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.
