Update: Byrne has added a second Red Rocks show. He’ll also play the venue on Aug. 27. Tickets to the show go on sale Jan. 26 at 10 a.m. MT.
Talking Heads may not have played a show since 2002, but frontman David Byrne has taken it upon himself to keep the band’s bank of delightfully weird songs alive on stage.
That continues this summer at Colorado’s most hallowed live music grounds, as Byrne launches a huge string of dates in support of his new album, “American Utopia” (out March 9 via Nonesuch). On Aug. 28, Byrne will conclude a six-month world tour with a show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Byrne will be joined by a 12-piece band for the show, which he called in a release “the most ambitious show I’ve done since the shows that were filmed for ‘Stop Making Sense,'” one of rock’s pre-eminent concert films.
Tickets to Byrne’s Red Rocks show are $50-$94.50 and go on sale Jan. 19 at 10 a.m. via .
Listen to “Everybody’s Coming to My House,” the first single off of “American Utopia,” below.
