NEW YORK (CelebrityAccess) — Former Talking Heads co-founder and frontman David Byrne has announced the release of a new solo album alongside a major international tour.
The album, titled “Who Is the Sky?”, is scheduled for release on September 5th by Matador Records. It features production from Grammy-winning Kid Harpoon (known for work with Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus), with its 12 songs arranged by members of New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra.
This studio release marks Byrne’s first new material since his award-winning “American Utopia” in 2018.

A North American leg will start in September, followed by dates in Australia and New Zealand beginning in January 2026, with details to be announced soon.
