David Byrne
Back with a new record for the first time since American Utopia!
David Byrne
We'll be doing some new songs... and many others that will, I assume, be familiar. I'm excited. This is the most ambitious show I've done since the shows that were filmed for 'Stop Making Sense,' so fingers crossed.

Why see David Byrne?
Who Is The Sky? Tour!
Former Talking Heads frontman and all-around excellent human David Byrne graces us with an ambitious new tour in support of his latest record, 'Who Is the Sky?'. Produced by Kid Harpoon - known for his work with Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus - and arranged by New York's own Ghost Train Orchestra, it's his first solo release since 2018's American Utopia. In typical Byrne style, expect a spectacle that combines his musicianship, artistry, and delightfully off-beat nature as he presents favorites old and new in this highly anticipated new era.
Starting this September, Byrne will hit the road with a 13-person band made up of musicians, singers, and dancers - many of them familiar faces from the American Utopia live show. As always, the stage will be in constant motion, filled with the same inventive energy that made his last tour a global sensation (and a Broadway smash, thanks to Spike Lee's HBO film).
A leader of the New Wave scene in the late '70s and early '80s, Byrne has enjoyed enduring success first with Talking Heads and then as a solo artist, filmmaker, photographer, activist, and writer. A friend of Bowie and collaborator with Brian Eno (who featured on American Utopia's lead single "Everybody's Coming to My House"), his perpetual zeal for creating has cemented him as a true auteur an icon of the modern age.
Don't miss this very good reason to be cheerful when Byrne rolls into town in 2025!

An excellent night
This was an excellent show, very creative and
original. Typical David Byrne style, understated
and subtle. The stage set was very unique and
offered several visual high points especially
when light was projected against the chains
and when the musicians interacted with it.
The music was excellent and David’s voice was
as stunning as ever. The pace of the show was
quick and the energy flowed all night. A good
dose of Talking Heads songs to keep everyone
satisfied.
I only had two criticisms: it seemed like the
revolutionary chain screens could have been
utilized more via projections and light but
that’s an artistic choice. The only other flat spot
was the final song. It was a tedious repetition
of names with no deeper statement, and some
of the musicians were into it and some clearly
weren’t. Peter Gabriel gets away with Biko
because 1. He wrote it 2. It is a focused story
with historical distance. This song didn’t live up
to the rest of the night.
A great show almost all night. Hooray! Replace
that last song with Strange Overtones or Pulled
Up and the night will end much higher. ... Read more

Can't get enough of David Byrne!
My husband and I have seen David Byrne in concert about 10 times and he never
disappoints. Even got to meet him years ago when the ticket was only $100 including a
meet and greet in NYC (during that concert David wore a kilt and looked HOT!) The
concert on 3/3/18 was no exception. David's voice is still perfect and love the way he
moves on stage. I believe all musicians were barefoot and the sound system was a 10 - no
need for ear plugs - just perfect. David smiled a few times which is rare and seemed to be
very pleased with the audience. Now looking for more tickets to catch this tour before he
heads out of the US. ... Read more
