David Byrne
Back with a new record for the first time since American Utopia!
We are an independent show guide. Resale ticket prices may be above face value.
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.

Back with a new record for the first time since American Utopia!
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!
