David Byrne European Tour Dates

David Byrne will embark on a European tour starting March 9 2009. The tour, titled David Byrne, Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno, will feature Byrne performing songs from his numerous collaborations with Brian Eno, including tracks from several Talking Heads albums produced by Eno, the pair's 1981 collaboration My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and their newest collaborative effort, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.

"The live shows will…try to draw a line linking this new material with what we did 30 years ago," explains Byrne. He will tour throughout continental Europe and the U.K. in March and April with dates in Italy, Spain and Portugal still to be added. Tickets for all U.K. shows will be available for presale on October 1st 2008.

For the release of Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, the album is currently available as a stream and digital download exclusively through everythingthathappens.com.
