David Byrne, Tony Award-winning creator of Broadway's American Utopia and Here Lies Love, has added new 2026 shows to his world tour in support of his latest album, Who Is The Sky?
The new North American dates include two nights at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA, and shows at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY, Cal Coast Union Open Air Theatre in San Diego, CA and Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga, NY. He has also added shows across Asia with stops in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Thailand.

Last month, David Byrne appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with his 12-member ensemble to perform “When We Are Singing,” a track from his new album, Who Is The Sky (Matador). Following the performance, Byrne joined Colbert for an in-depth conversation. Watch here.
Who Is the Sky?, released via Matador Records, is Byrne’s first album since releasing the acclaimed 2018 American Utopia, which was later adapted into a hit Broadway musical and HBO film. The album was produced by the Grammy-winning Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus), while its 12 songs were arranged by the members of New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra. Guests include Paramore’s Hayley Williams, St. Vincent and The Smile drummer Tom Skinner.
David Byrne’s recent works include his latest album, Who Is The Sky? (2025), Theater of the Mind, an immersive journey co-created by Byrne and writer Mala Gaonkar (Denver, 2022/23, Chicago 2026), SOCIAL! At The Park Avenue Armory, the Broadway production of David Byrne’s American Utopia (2019), as well as the Spike Lee-directed film version (2020), the launch of his Reasons to be Cheerful online magazine (2019) and the solo album American Utopia (2018).
