David Byrne Live AEC – Who is the Sky Tour
2026 kicked off with one of the best live shows I have seen. We had the privilege and pleasure of seeing David Byrne as our Christmas present. A true artist. At 73 he didn’t hold back. An incredible mix of new and old material, Talking Heads tunes, photography installations, humour, reflection, and politics with full backing multi-instrumentalist band and choreography. He showed us his photos of South Australia, his apartment, had the Adelaide Byrne Dance fringe group come on stage, giant political slogans like Make America Gay Again & No Kings and ripped through Life During Wartime with footage of police cars burning and protesters battling ICE. It was epic!
In a time of continual fascist horror, Mr. Byrne reminded us of the importance of making art, music, and community.
This was like a three course meal for the soul and I'm full.
I didn't take many photos because I was trying to savour every moment or dancing, but I snapped a few.

in reply to Tinselwig • •If you want an indication- there is this film from the previous tour. The current one has bigger band and large screen visuals.
