David Byrne has amassed a body of work that stands up to just about anyone over the years, both through his work with Talking Heads and as a solo artist. He’s just announced a brand new studio album, as well as a giant tour around the world to go alongside it, which will see him play three nights at the Hammersmith Apollo on March 3, March 4, and March 15 in 2026.
Who Is The Sky? is set to drop on September 5, and is David Byrne’s 11th solo studio album – his first since 2018’s American Utopia. You can listen to the first single, Everybody Laughs, now.
