David Byrne

One of music's most visionary artists, David Byrne — founding member and creative force behind Talking Heads — brings his singular artistry to stages across North America in a landmark 2026 tour. Known for theatrical, movement-driven performances that blur the line between concert and art installation, a David Byrne show is unlike anything else in live music. Expect a setlist drawing from decades of iconic work, from the angular funk of Talking Heads classics to his rich solo catalog, all delivered with the infectious energy and intellectual wit that has defined his career for over four decades. The tour spans a remarkable range of iconic venues, from the grandeur of Forest Hills Stadium to the intimate elegance of the KeyBank State Theatre at Playhouse Square, the open-air charm of Ascend Amphitheater, and the beloved Durham Performing Arts Center across two consecutive nights. Each setting offers its own magic, and Byrne's productions are renowned for transforming every space into something extraordinary — with choreography, inventive staging, and a live band of world-class musicians that turn each performance into a communal, joyful celebration. Whether you're a lifelong devotee who remembers the Stop Making Sense era or a newer fan drawn in by his endlessly evolving artistic output, this tour promises an unforgettable night. Dates run through spring 2026, with shows kicking off May 6 in Kansas City and continuing through multiple cities. Do not miss the rare opportunity to witness one of rock and pop's most original minds in full, electrifying command of a live stage.
