- Talking Heads Announce 2025 World Tour: “Our Final Tour Ever”
Legendary art-rock band Talking Heads has announced their highly anticipated 2025 world tour, marking their first global trek in decades and, according to the band, their last. In a statement released Monday, the band confirmed that this will be their final tour, closing the chapter on their iconic live performances.
“This will be our final tour for life,” the statement read. “We want to celebrate the music with fans one last time, creating unforgettable moments together. It’s a farewell, but also a celebration of everything we’ve achieved as a band.”
The tour will kick off in March 2025, spanning major cities across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist, including classics like “Once in a Lifetime,” “Burning Down the House,” and “Psycho Killer,” along with innovative staging and visuals reminiscent of their groundbreaking Stop Making Sense performances.
Talking Heads, consisting of David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison, rose to fame in the late 1970s and 1980s with their eclectic sound blending punk, funk, and world music. Though the group disbanded in 1991, their influence remains undeniable, with a devoted fanbase and critical acclaim for their artistry.
Speculation about a reunion tour has swirled for years, and this announcement has sparked excitement and nostalgia among fans. Tickets are expected to sell out quickly when they go on sale in January 2025.
For many, this final tour is a chance to witness one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time. As the Talking Heads bid farewell to the stage, their legacy continues to resonate, ensuring that their music remains timeless for generations to come.
