‘One of the most inspired, intriguing, energetic and joyful concerts in recent memory. To call it unique hardly does it justice.’ – The Calgary Herald

‘Already the toast of Coachella, Byrne’s new road show was a knockout’ – David Fricke, Rolling Stone

‘It’s honestly hard to believe the amazingness of David Byrne’s live show…Byrne radiates a joy while performing that few  –  if any  – musicians can match.’  – Seattle Weekly

‘A marvel of staging and motion that was at once utterly novel and oddly comforting, the evening proved a celebration of Byrne’s music at its most rhythmic and transcendent.’  – Chicago Tribune

‘A thought provoking example of the power of live music.’ Forbes.com

‘Reports had been coming in from the east coast about how uniquely theatrical the setup is on his new “American Utopia”-supporting tour, and the brain that designed “Stop Making Sense” didn’t disappoint.’ Variety.com, Coachella’s Top 10 Sets

‘Decades into his career, David Byrne remains an unpredictable, vital artist. There aren’t many who can say that.’ – LA Weekly
