David Byrne's 'American Utopia' Australian Tour Is Here Image

Talking Heads frontman David Byrne kicked off the Australian leg of his acclaimed American Utopia World Tour last night at Sydney's ICC Theatre to stupendous reviews. It is, as many fans attested on social media, a show filled with joy, pure and infectious.

Just in overnight, UK bible NME highlighted Byrne as an artist 'subverting the core of a live show.' Aussie fans, make no mistake. These shows are not to be missed!

Final tickets remain to tonight's show at the Gold Coast Convention Centre and Adelaide's AEC Theatre on Sunday 25 November, with both selling fast. Don't delay in grabbing tickets!

'This night's opening act, Kimbra, told us David Byrne was a "game changer" and at 66-years-old, the former Talking Heads frontman went on to prove she was still right. Boasting choreography of a standard rarely seen outside ballet, Byrne's show... was a tour de force where the tunes, ideas and enthusiasm never flagged.' - Australian Financial Review

Catch David Byrne, with special guest Kimbra, on the American Utopia World Tour this week!
