David Byrne Live

David Byrne’s What Is The Reason For It?

Sept 30 – Oct 1, 2025
1260 6th Ave, New York, NY 10020

David Byrne has new music out and he’s doing a world tour. What Is The Reason For It? is his latest release and it contains four songs. A collaboration with Ghost Train Orchestra and Hayley Williams, it’s a unique and interesting mixture of sounds. Byrne is exploring new musical textures while blending it with some of the David Byrne we know and love. With shows from Frankfurt to Auckland, everyone will have their opportunity to see him perform the new material live. His extraordinary showmanship may leave you wanting to see him a second time. Luckily for New Yorkers, he has four nights on the books at Radio City Music Hall. —Henry McGrath
