David Byrne announces new album and world tour

The Talking Heads frontman David Byrne announced a new album “Who Is The Sky?”, which will be out next September 5. The first single “Everybody Laughs” was released and the music video is fantastic. He also announced an extensive American and European tour and you can see dates below the song.

“I finished up a new album recently called ‘Who Is The Sky?’. It’s produced by Kid Harpoon, joined by Ghost Train Orchestra and, on a couple of songs, my friends St. Vincent and Hayley Williams. It comes out Sept. 5th under Matador—a new label for me.”

“I will start rehearsing soon for a tour that begins in September. The tour concept is unlike anything I’ve done before. We’ll keep the mobility that was a key element of the American Utopia tour and Broadway show— but instead of the chain… we will have locations. You’ll just have to come and experience what that involves. Tour tickets go on sale 6/13,” David Byrne said.
