Monday night, the main stage at Musikfest brought on two tribute bands to celebrate a portion of the musical catalogs of music of David Bowie and Prince, both artists passed away earlier this year.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Starting the show was The Band From Mars, a local Lehigh Valley group. They started their set with the songs contained on Ziggy Stardust, then shifted to more of Bowie\u2019s more recent hits. Songs included were: “The Jean Genie”, “All the Young Dudes”, “Let\u2019s Dance”, “Diamond Dogs” and “Fame”.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Swift Technique entered the purple set stage, and added more dance grooves to Prince\u2019s music, as they covered most of Prince\u2019s early hits: “Let\u2019s Go Crazy”, “I Wanna Be Your Lover”, “When Doves Cry”, “Kiss”, “1999” and “Purple Rain”. The crowd rose to their feet pretty quickly and danced through the set.<\/div>\n
