Lucca Summer Festival announces one of the most prestigious events of its 2026 edition: David Byrne will perform in Lucca's Piazza Napoleone on Thursday, June 25th, bringing his new artistic project, Who Is The Sky?, to the stage. An iconic artist, founder of Talking Heads, and a key figure in contemporary music, Byrne returns to Italy with a show that marks the beginning of a new creative chapter, following the worldwide success of American Utopia, which also became an acclaimed Broadway show and a film directed by Spike Lee. With Who Is The Sky?, Byrne continues his exploration of themes dear to him: human connection, the search for meaning, the irony of everyday life, and the potential for personal transformation. This intense, surprising project is rich in writing that intertwines immediacy and narrative depth. The evening of June 25th will offer audiences a special opportunity to experience the intensity and immersiveness of Byrne's musical performances, which have always blended avant-garde, lightheartedness, and an ever-evolving artistic vision.
