Byrne, best known as the founding member, principal songwriter, lead singer, and guitarist of Talking Heads, continues to reinvent himself with each project. His latest studio album, Who Is the Sky?, was released in September 2025 with the Ghost Train Orchestra via Matador Records. Produced by Kid Harpoon, the 12-track art-pop collection features collaborations with St. Vincent, Hayley Williams, and Tom Skinner. Described as joyful, eccentric, and life-affirming, the album explores themes of community, connection, love, and self-discovery. Key tracks include Everybody Laughs, She Explains Things to Me, The Avant Garde, and My Apartment Is My Friend.
For this tour, Byrne will be joined by 13 musicians, singers, and dancers, many of whom were part of his acclaimed American Utopia band. The performers will be mobile throughout the set, creating a theatrical, story-driven concert experience that blends avant-garde artistry with accessible pop in a uniquely Byrne style. Byrne describes Who Is the Sky? as a new adventure for him, blending simple acoustic demos with looped beats and theatrical storytelling. At 73, he says he feels free to step outside his comfort zone, creating songs that are both personal and playful. Fans can expect a lively, visually striking performance that brings the themes of his latest album to life on stage.
