David Byrne's new tour dates for August and September 2026 will begin with shows in Singapore, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea before returning to the U.S. The tour starts in San Diego on August 27th and includes performances at the Hollywood Bowl, Saratoga, and Forest Hills Stadium in New York, concluding on September 19th.

"I licensed some ICE footage to show at the very, very end of that song. If we showed it for the whole song, it would be kind of sad, depressing, but we show it at the very end and we start off with some footage that I saw of what looked like a delivery guy on a bike being chased by the ICE guys, and he gets away!

The legendary Talking Heads frontman finally returns with a new full-length studio album, which is his first since 2018's American Utopia and his ninth overall. Byrne, who collaborated on the album with New York City-based musical ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra, will likely showcase some new songs during a tour that includes three dates (Nov. 16-18) at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco (apeconcerts.com).
