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.

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

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
