Times : 19:30 - 23:00 19:30 - 23:00

The Barbican, Silk Street, City, EC2Y 8DS

Live Music: , Rock

How Much: Sold Out :(
Probably best known for his work in seminal 80s art-rockers Talking Heads, David Byrne's solo work may not of been as successful as his previous band, but in many way its been just as artistically brilliant.

Throwing together influences seemingly at random, Byrne has dabbled in everything from classical orchestration, ambient noise to afro-jazz and world rhythms. However, his most recognisable periods are the ones he spent with Brian Eno, and it's this part of his back-catalogue he'll be exploring at the Barbican tonight.

A pretty special night with a very special man.
