David Byrne’s latest project, Who Is The Sky?, lands at the Greek with the kind of ambition that makes you rethink what a live show can be. Byrne’s knack for turning big ideas into something you can actually dance to is on full display, but this time he’s working with the Ghost Train Orchestra and Kid Harpoon, so the arrangements are lush, unpredictable and sometimes downright cinematic. The Greek’s open-air acoustics are a perfect match for the album’s sweeping sound, and Byrne’s storytelling feels even sharper when it’s backed by a full orchestra. If you’ve caught his previous tours, you know he doesn’t repeat himself. This isn’t nostalgia or a greatest hits parade—it’s a restless, inventive artist still pushing at the edges. If you want to see what happens when pop music gets truly curious, this is the night to do it.
