David Bowie To Curate New York City Festival


David Bowie
The one and only David Bowie will curate the inaugural High Line Festival. The new music fest is slated to take place in May 2007 in neighborhoods underneath the High Line, a public park being created atop a long-abandoned elevated railway line on the west side of Manhattan.

The festival will feature David Bowie performing a huge outdoor concert, his first show in New York since 2003. Bowie will also pick musicians and artists to appear throughout the festival. Bowie told Billboard.com, "I've been particularly excited about seeking out emerging artists and giving them a place in a festival that will also feature some very well-known names."

Who's cooler then Bowie?.....ah nobody. The guy is nearly 60 and he still has his finger on the pulse of hipness. His festival is bound to be kickin'.

Bowie should pick ALO, Animal Liberation Orchestra as they are an emerging artist. Their songs are very original and they have good voices.
