Amoeba is proud to sponsor David Byrne at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday, August 28th for the Who is the Sky?! tour. Whether he’s playing an acoustic guitar on stage accompanied only by a tape machine, slow-dancing with a lamp to one of the sweetest songs of the 20th century, or disappearing into the marching band formations and dance moves of a large ensemble, David Byrne is always looking for one thing: human connection.

As singer and leader of Talking Heads, Byrne wrote some of the most influential and deeply loved songs of the 1970s and 1980s—“Burning Down the House,” “Psycho Killer,” “Once in a Lifetime.” Couples have been saying “I do” to the tune of “This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody)” for decades. And as is known by anyone who’s seen Jonathan Demme’s Talking Heads film Stop Making Sense or Spike Lee’s film of Byrne’s American Utopia Broadway show and tour, he brings the same level of delight and joy to his concerts that’s always been at the heart of his music.

Following the release of 2025’s Who is the Sky?, Byrne and his 13-member ensemble mounted a brand-new stage production featuring highlights from his work with Talking Heads and Brian Eno, as well as songs from across his solo career. Variety called the tour “essential.” The Guardian said it will “restore your faith in humanity.” And after seeing it at the Bowl, you’ll almost certainly call it a night you’ll never forget.
