In an email to fans today, he explained a bit of what’s in his head for this year’s tour.
Quite a few months ago I went to Lititz and Manheim, PA to test out some tech for my upcoming music tour. The show concept is simple. Like the concept behind the show that was filmed for Stop Making Sense, the idea is super obvious and easy to describe. In that show, it was “bit by bit show what goes into making a show, and then activate it”. In this one, it is “allow everyone to be mobile on an empty stage” (and imagine what that allows). I asked if every musician-drums, keyboards, singers, everyone-could now be mobile. Guitars and singers no problem, we can have them be wireless with their amps and all that off-stage, but keyboards and drums? How does one do that?…

Sounds like he’s getting super creative here, which is definitely a great thing for us fans. His last tour I caught was something very interactive between the band and dancers on stage, almost as if the band had crashed a ballet recital. It was super unique, and ultimately very very Byrne-esque. Can’t wait to see what 2018 brings.
