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.

David Byrne at the Winspear Opera House 4/24/18
WOW !!!! What an incredible show. Hands down one of the best concerts I've been to in many moons. Perfect venue, perfect sound, perfect voice, perfect band, perfect all the way around. I'm glad he's coming back with this show in October. They played tons of Talking Heads songs. This is not to be missed. I repeat: NOT TO BE MISSED !!! ... Read more

Wow!
Thank you Universe for bringing David Byrne and Co. to Cincinnati!!!! Whao! Totally
new level of experience. David has always been ultra talented. Coreographed
musicians, vocalists, all performers. All live instruments. I love the way that David
uses his voice. His talent totally resonates with me. He is a deep thinker with levity in
his expressions. Wonderful. How is 66 so young? Amazing! Wonderful! Thank you!
Totally want the video of this tour. Wish I could follow you like a groupie to see Ibeyi
in CA!!! Would love to have names of fallen victims of fear mongering racism on the
monitors to each side of the stage. Many names we know. Some we don't. I don't
want your powerful message lost on the crowd. Thanks for an amazing experience!
And next time you come to Cincy, please come and get acupuncture :) ... 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
