DAVID BYRNE
ADDS SUMMER 2026 EUROPEAN SHOWS
PLUS ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL SPRING 2026 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES
Last week, David Byrne wrapped up the first leg of his widely celebrated and acclaimed “Who Is The Sky” tour, marking the release of his new album of the same name. Today, he announces another run of North American dates which kick off April 4 in Vancouver, conclude May 17 in Baltimore and include performances at Big Ears Festival and Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Byrne will kick the year off with a run of tour dates in Australia and New Zealand and then head to Europe and the UK, with more shows added for Summer 2026. A full run of dates can be found below.
David Byrne and his band recently brought his live performance energy to the NPR offices for an epic Tiny Desk Concert, with Exclaim! saying, “Everything he does is pure magic”.
Last month saw the release of the timely new single, ‘T Shirt’. Co-produced by Byrne’s longtime friend and collaborator Brian Eno, the song is a classic piece of electro-pop wrapped in lightly humorous, but always earnest, political commentary. The track has become a notable moment and quick fan favorite on Byrne’s latest tour.
Who Is the Sky?, released via Matador Records, is Byrne’s first album since releasing the acclaimed 2018 American Utopia, which was later adapted into a hit Broadway musical and HBO film. It was produced by the Grammy-winning Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus), while its 12 songs were arranged by the members of New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra. Guests include Paramore’s Hayley Williams, St. Vincent and The Smile drummer Tom Skinner.
