David Byrne will be spending a lot of time on the road in 2026.

He’s announced another big batch of Who Is the Sky? tour dates for North America and Europe that will be added on to his current schedule, named for his most recent album. This new section of shows will begin with two concerts in Knoxville, Tennessee on March 26 and 27. From there he’ll make stops in cities like Las Vegas, Houston, Phoenix, Nashville, Baltimore and more before heading overseas where he’ll launch a European leg of the tour on June 12 in Oslo, Norway. This portion of the tour will conclude July 24 in Suffolk, England.

Prior to the Knoxville shows, Byrne also has dates scheduled in Australia, Europe and the U.K. A complete list of 2026 concerts, with the newly announced ones in bold, can be viewed below.

David Byrne’s Current Tour Is Part Concert, Part Theater

Byrne’s current approach to performing is not what one might expect at a typical rock concert. The Who Is the Sky? tour pulls from elements of theater, dance and visual art, and includes a great deal of choreography with Byrne’s bandmates.

“I was inspired by a German dance choreographer, a woman named Pina Bausch,” he explained to NPR earlier this year. “I saw one of her pieces. There was just one scene where there was a projection of, like, a jungle or something like that. And it wasn’t that complete, but it kind of —I thought, you could do this, where it looks like the performers are in that environment. I said, let’s see if we can use the screens to put us in different environments that somehow resonate with the different songs or with the world that we live in. So I thought, oh, we can put ourselves in a forest. We can put ourselves in a street. We can put ourselves on the moon.”
