Bowie Bandstand

The Bowie Bandstand is a listed building in Croydon Road Recreation Ground, a public park in Beckenham in the London Borough of Bromley.

The bandstand was erected in 1905, designed by the McCallum and Hope Iron Foundry, Glasgow. It is believed to be the only surviving McCallum and Hope bandstand in the UK. As of 2024, the bandstand is being restored.

On 16 August 1969, David Bowie helped organise, compere and perform at a free festival based at the bandstand. The one-day festival has taken place annually since then, and is now known as Bowie's Beckenham Oddity.
