David Byrne has added a bunch of dates to his upcoming tour. He’ll play shows in the United States, Mexico, Canada, South America, the UK, and Europe. The tour currently runs from March through August. Check out David Byrne’s full itinerary below. Byrne recently said the concerts would be his “most ambitious” since the Stop Making Sense shows. In a tweet, he elaborated: “The show concept is simple, much like the concept for Stop Making Sense. There, it was ‘bit by bit show what goes into making a show, and then activate it”. Here, it is ‘allow everyone to be mobile on an empty stage’ and imagine what that allows.”

Byrne’s 2018 trek is in support of his upcoming album American Utopia (out March 9 via Todomundo/Nonesuch). The LP marks Byrne’s first solo album since 2004’s Grown Backwards. It features contributions from Brian Eno, Oneohtrix Point Never, Jam City, Doveman, Jack Peñate, and others.
