David Byrne Is Headed To Playhouse Square On May 6

Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne is set to bring his singular blend of art-rock, theatrical performance, and avant-garde storytelling to Playhouse Square, promising Cleveland audiences a night that blurs the line between concert and immersive stage production. Known for his visionary live shows—including the groundbreaking American Utopia tour, Byrne has built a reputation for transforming the stage into a kinetic, visually striking experience, pairing infectious rhythms with thought-provoking themes. Fans can expect a dynamic setlist that spans his celebrated solo catalog along with iconic material that helped define a generation of alternative music.

​

Set in one of the nation’s premier theater district, Playhouse Square is the largest performing arts center outside of New York City. this appearance offers an ideal backdrop for Byrne’s boundary-pushing style. His performances are as much about movement and staging as they are about music, often featuring choreographed ensembles and innovative production design that elevate familiar songs into something entirely new. Whether you’re a longtime admirer or a curious newcomer, Byrne’s Cleveland stop is shaping up to be a must-see event that celebrates creativity, rhythm, and the enduring spirit of live performance.

​

I saw this show last year in Detroit, and it was one of the best shows of the year!  I'm glad he's making a stop in Cleveland this year.
