Whether he’s playing an acoustic guitar on stage accompanied only by a tape machine, slow-dancing with a lamp to one of the sweetest songs of the 20th century, or disappearing into the marching band formations and dance moves of a large ensemble, David Byrne is always looking for one thing: human connection.

David Byrne: Who is the Sky?

Hollywood Bowl

Magnificent coronation ceremonies. Lavish weddings. Fateful choices. And plenty of romance – both inside and outside the castle walls.

A Royal Evening

DR Koncerthuset

David Byrne returns to the road with a brand new live show in support of Who Is the Sky?, his first new album since 2018’s acclaimed and award-winning American Utopia. The album was produced by the Grammy-winning Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus), while its 12 songs were arranged by the members of New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra.  The touring band will comprise 13 musicians, singers and dancers, including members of the American Utopia band, all of whom will be mobile throughout the set.

When strangers arrive at a secluded cave, domestic harmony shatters – and survival turns savage.

The Shitheads

Jerwood Theatre Upstairs

If David Byrne is one of the geniuses of modern times, then Start Making Sense is a tribute to genius. The musicians in this 7-piece band recreate the music and the magic of the Talking Heads' entire career, and they do it flawlessly. Together they bring the Heads' blockbuster live show to the stage once again, with front man Jon Braun as a spot-on David Byrne, along with the same throbbing beat and musicality of the original. The talent in this band is hard to overstate: this band can flat-out play. Non-stop. Prepare yourself for a rockin', funkin', dance celebration of the New Wave art-punk you loved from the 80's!
