American Utopia: Difference between revisions

The release of the album was backed by the American Utopia Tour, that lasted from March to November 2018. The elaborate concert featured an empty stage surrounded by metal chains and a cast of twelve musicians, including Byrne himself, sporting bare feet and wearing identical gray suits. Cutting-edge technology in wireless audio, MIDI, lighting and real-time tracking was used to totally untether the musicians from any cables, allowing free movement and complex choreography (developed by Annie-B Parson) like in Byrne's previous tours. In addition to songs from ''American Utopia'', the setlist incorporated material from Byrne's solo catalogue, several hits by [[Talking Heads]] and a cover of Janelle Monáe's "[[Hell You Talmbout]]".
