				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Talking Heads frontman David Byrne has announced a run of UK and Ireland dates across October and November, tickets for which will go on sale at 12pm on June 18th.</p>
<p>The tour is in support of his latest album, 2018&#8217;s &#8216;American Utopia&#8217;, and will apparently be one of his most elaborate and theatrical live productions to date. <a href="http://www.nme.com/news/music/david-byrne-solo-tour-east-coast-ambitious-2170966">Discussing the upcoming tour</a> Byrne himself said: &#8220;I&#8217;m excited. This is the most ambitious show I’ve done since the shows that were filmed for <em>Stop Making Sense,</em> so fingers crossed.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to Byrne&#8217;s solo efforts, Talking Heads&#8217; fans can hold out hope of hearing some of their old favourites, with the former lead singer going on to say &#8220;We’ll be doing some new songs, and many others that will, I assume, be familiar.”</p>

<p>The newly announced dates follow a string of UK shows that are already sold out, with David set to perform in Oxford, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London later in June.
