David Byrne @ Edinburgh Playhouse, 8 Aug

The tenuous homecoming feel of Dumbarton-born David Byrne’s recent Glasgow show can’t feasibly be extended to Edinburgh. This month the naturalized American takes his Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno world tour to the festival city, and while casual Talking Heads fans might mourn the absence of non-Eno hits like Psycho Killer, avid Byrne-ites can get down to the primal beats of tracks from My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, three of the Heads’ greatest LPs, and last year’s reunion album, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. At the end of this choreographed show, you may also get to see Byrne wearing a tutu. Well, at least it's not a kilt. [Nick Mitchell]
