After letting us in on all the details behind American Utopia last week, David Byrne has now announced an extensive world tour behind his forthcoming disc. And yes, it includes several concerts here in Canada.
Byrne has described the massive outing as "the most ambitious show I've done since the shows that were filmed for Stop Making Sense." A press release notes that the shows will feature songs from the new album, in addition to classics from both his solo career and Talking Heads.
The trek features a number of stops in Canada. Byrne will visit the western part of the country in May, making stops in Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. A Toronto date will bring Byrne to the Sony Centre on August 3.
UPDATE (4/3, 12 p.m. EDT): David Byrne has now added a stop in Montreal for September 12 at Bell Centre Theatre. You can see the updated schedule below.
