David Byrne hitting the road, without Eno
NEW YORK (Billboard) - David Byrne is hitting the road in the fall, but not with Brian Eno. Although one of the three announced shows touts Eno's participation with the billing "The Songs of Talking Heads' David Byrne and Roxy Music founder Brian Eno," Byrne's publicist said Eno was not involved in the outing.
The full dates have yet to be announced, but Byrne will play September 20 in Atlanta, September 26 at the Austin City Limits festival and October 4 in Santa Barbara, Calif. The Atlanta show is at the 6,000-capacity Chastain Park, a large venue for Byrne, who has played mostly clubs in recent years.
In Atlanta, tickets top out at $48.50, while in Santa Barbara, the most expensive seats are $65.
Byrne and Eno recently finished mixing a new studio album, which Byrne is expected to self-release later this year. It marks the pair's first project together since 1981's "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts." That album was reissued in expanded form by boutique label Nonesuch in 2006.
