David Byrne
Back with a new record for the first time in 14 years!
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?
American Uptopia tour
Former Talking Heads frontman and all-around excellent human David Byrne graces us with an ambitious new tour in support of his newest record American Utopia, his first solo release in 14 years. In typical Byrne style, expect a spectacle that combines the his musicianship, artistry, and delightfully off-beat nature as he presents favorites old and new for this highly anticipated new era.
As a leader of the New Wave scene in the late 70s and early 80's Byrne has enjoyed enduring success firstly with Talking Heads and then as solo artist, filmmaker, photographer, activist and writer. A friend of Bowie and collaborator with Brian Eno (who features 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 2018.

Exceptional, except for the last encore
When you saw the stage setup, you KNEW you were in for something special. The show was
so unique it is hard to characterize. No amps, no drums, no keyboards on stage. All musicians
were wireless, and with 2 background singers/choreography there were up to 10 people on
stage at any given time. With the chain/curtain backdrop and sides, musicians appeared and
disappeared depending on the song. The production and lighting in this show was
fascinating. On a song like 'I should Watch TV' it was like David Byrne vs the band, and on
others they were dancing with him, at times like a Marching Band. A good selection of upbeat
rhythmic songs, and a mix from both American Utopia and Talking Heads. I have to agree
with another reviewer, the second encore of 'Hell You Talmbout' was a disappointing end to
such a great show and purely political. Some of the names called out ("say his name") seemed
like an effort to make martyrs out of some people that made bad choices. Not all, but some. ... Read more

David Byrne Returns Home
David Byrne in Glasgow , Scotland last night.
Seen him 6 times and once with the Talking
Heads in 1977 and this was the best show
Ive ever encountered , never mind just his
previous shows. Bowie in 1978 , i thought
would never be topped, but ate my words
last night. Exceptional Mr Byrne and good to
see you home for at least just one night.
What a concert - what a guy. Clever- witty
and just god damn clever. ... 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
