Update

This March, legendary performer David Byrne will do something he hasn’t done since 2009: he will embark on a solo tour. Byrne, who fronted Hall Of Fame act Talking Heads from the group’s formation through their 1991 breakup, is also expected to release a new album to accompany the March 2018 tour.

While Byrne did hit the road in 2012 – 2013, he did so with Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent. This time around there are no co-stars. David Byrne is expected to perform Talking Heads hits such as “Burning Down the House,” “Life During Wartime” and “Psycho Killer” as well as music from a new album due in March as per the Poughkeepsie Journal. No additional details of his album or backing band for the tour have been revealed yet, but are expected to be confirmed soon. Byrne issued a note about the short run that can be read below.

As for now, six U.S. shows have been confirmed. First up is a performance at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey on March 3. Byrne then brings the tour to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania; Buffalo, New York; Hershey, Pennsylvania; Waterbury, Connecticut and Kingston, New York. David Byrne also will make appearances at the Lollapalooza festivals in South America and at Roskilde, so don’t be surprised to see him make the rounds on the festival circuit in 2018.

Tickets go on sale Friday morning.
