Musician, writer, visual artist and filmmaker David Byrne is bringing his world tour to Halifax this summer.
The former Talking Heads frontman and multi-award-winner will head to TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall on Saturday July 18 as part of his Who Is The Sky? tour.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am Friday February 6 from ticketmaster.co.uk
Born in Scotland and raised in Canada and America, Byrne co-founded the multi-platinum selling band Talking Heads in New York in 1975. As a solo artist he has collaborated with the likes of Brian Eno, Fatboy Slim, and X-Press 2. He has received an Oscar, Golden Globe, GRAMMY and Tony awards, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame as part of Talking Heads.
Byrne released his latest album Who Is The Sky? in September – featuring Hayley Williams, St. Vincent and The Smile’s Tom Skinner. New single T-shirt, co-written with his longtime friend and collaborator Brian Eno followed in November.
The album and tour build on the optimism of 2018 release American Utopia, and they continue Byrne’s lifelong exploration of human connection and the potential for societal unity against the chaotic backdrop of the world.
Who Is the Sky? is cinematic, humorous and joyful, with the lesson that love is unexplainable and that enlightenment means very different things to different people.
At the start of 2026, he released a cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s Driver’s License to mark the song’s five-year anniversary – the first of a series celebrating the fifth birthday of the pop star’s debut album Soar in June.
The announcement takes the number of shows scheduled for TK Maxx Presents Live at The Piece Hall next summer to 39 – with more still to be announced.
