"Witnessing David Byrne's Who Is the Sky? tour is like stepping into a kaleidoscopic bubble bath for two hours. Turn the faucet hot, and you get the urgent reminder that "Life During Wartime" never really ends. Turn it again, and you can cool down with the sensual beauty known as "And She Was." Byrne, sharing the stage with over a dozen untethered musicians - an artistic choice that he previously utilized to great effect for his American Utopia shows -"
"At least, that's how I would describe what my concert experience was like. Byrne doesn't want to give too much of his own thought process away. "Friends attempt to describe it to me," he tells me with a chuckle, "but I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to describe it myself." Byrne is currently in the final stretch of the American dates for his Who Is the Sky? tour, which was the relentlessly positive 12-song album he released back in September."
David Byrne’s Who Is the Sky? tour delivers a two-hour, kaleidoscopic performance that shifts between urgent, kinetic numbers and sensual, calming songs. The show features more than a dozen untethered musicians and large screens that add visual layers to each song’s message. Byrne alternates solo material with Talking Heads classics, reintroducing "Psycho Killer" after nearly two decades. The tour supports a relentlessly positive 12-song album released in September and is concluding American dates before expanding internationally next year. Byrne describes the production as his most ambitious yet and expresses uncertainty about future directions.
