In Conversation with David Byrne

David Byrne will be appearing for "In Conversation with David Byrne," a special evening that moves away from his typical musical performances. This event offers a chance to hear directly from the artist about his diverse career, creative process, and perhaps his current projects or interests, which span music, film, art, and writing. Given his history with Talking Heads and a broad solo catalog that touches on everything from new wave to world music, this is an opportunity to gain insight into one of music's more thoughtful figures. This discussion takes place on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at the Athenaeum Center in Chicago. The Athenaeum is a historic venue often used for talks and theatrical productions, suggesting an intimate setting conducive to a spoken-word event. This type of show generally appeals to fans of Byrne's work, as well as those interested in creative discourse and the broader arts.
