Launching in September 2025, Byrne’s ‘Who Is The Sky?’ tour travelled to four continents and over 150 shows, with 13 musicians creating what the press release described as a show that “blends visual art, storytelling, and music into one compelling live performance”.
The tour’s multi-night stop at The Hippodrome in Baltimore has been captured by Corbet, and Byrne was quoted in a press release at being amazed by the results.
Brady Corbet is best known as the director of The Brutalist, winning Golden Globe and BAFTA awards for the epic drama as well as earning three Oscar nominations.
He has also directed The Childhood Of A Leader with Robert Pattinson and Vox Lux starring Natalie Portman.
The film is currently in post-production, with distribution and release date yet to be announced. David Byrne has worked with award-winning filmmakers before, such as Jonathan Demme on Talking Heads’ seminal concert movie Stop Making Sense, as well as Spike Lee on the 2020 stage production David Byrne’s American Utopia.
NME reviewed Byrne’s performance as this year’s Mad Cool festival in Madrid. “For more than half a century, he’s been raising an arched eyebrow at the world – and we sure do need his anarchic sense of humour right now,” Jordan Bassett wrote.
