David Byrne to headline Rosendal

David Byrne – frontman and creative driving force behind Talking Heads and one of popular music’s most visionary figures – is a live performer of rare caliber. With timeless classics such as Burning Down the HouseOnce in a LifetimePsycho Killer, and This Must Be the Place, he has shaped generations of artists and listeners. His solo career, the Broadway success American Utopia, and his constantly evolving stage language make every live appearance something far more than just a concert.

When Byrne last took the stage in New York this past fall, the show was praised in Aftonbladet by Per Bjurman as a joyful, life-affirming tour de force, where the combination of iconic Talking Heads songs and new material turned the evening into an experience that lit up all of New York. He also recently performed together with Robyn during Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary, a celebrated meeting between two cross-generational pop icons.

The performance at Rosendal Garden Party will be his only Swedish date on the upcoming European tour, and a long-awaited opportunity for Swedish audiences to experience David Byrne live. The last time David Byrne performed in Sweden was in 2013.
