David Bowie (May 13 1972) Worthing Assembly Hall – Concert Advert

Publication: New Musical Express Date: May 13 1972 Country: United Kingdom Section / Page: Concert Listings / Advertisement Format: Regional Gig Advert

Overview

A straightforward concert advertisement for David Bowie’s appearance at the Assembly Hall, Worthing during his rising Ziggy Stardust period. Printed in bold black type on a pale background, the design reflects the clean, utilitarian style of early‑1972 regional gig notices — concise, affordable, and aimed squarely at local fans eager to catch Bowie’s new persona live.

What the Clipping Shows

A rectangular advert bordered by a thin black line, centred text, and bold sans‑serif type. The headline “DAVID BOWIE IN CONCERT” dominates the upper half, followed by the venue, date, and ticket details. Its minimalism is typical of NME’s gig listings in 1972 — functional design serving pure promotional purpose.

“David Bowie in concert at the Assembly Hall, Worthing – Thursday, May 11th.”   “Tickets 50p. Doors open 7.30.”
