David Byrne - Who is the Sky Tour

Get ready, Austin—David Byrne is bringing his wildly inventive Who is the Sky Tour to Bass Concert Hall this November, and it’s shaping up to be one of the must-see live music experiences of the year!

Byrne, the ever-curious genius behind Talking Heads and the American Utopia phenomenon, is back with his first album in seven years, Who Is the Sky? Expect a sensory feast of new songs, bold staging, and the kind of creative energy that only Byrne can deliver. The touring ensemble features 13 musicians, singers, and dancers—many familiar from American Utopia—all moving fluidly around the stage in a show that’s as much theater as concert.

Highlights of the night include:

• Fresh tracks from the new album, produced by Grammy-winner Kid Harpoon and featuring special guests like St. Vincent, Hayley Williams, and Tom Skinner
• Orchestral arrangements by New York’s Ghost Train Orchestra
• A visually stunning production directed by multimedia artist Gabriel Barcia-Colombo
• That infectious David Byrne vibe—equal parts brainy, playful, and profoundly human

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just discovering Byrne’s magic, this is a night for anyone who loves music that’s smart, surprising, and full of heart. Come for the songs, stay for the spectacle, and leave feeling like you’ve witnessed something truly special.
