Talking Heads Tease 50th Anniversary Reunion Announcement

Talking Heads have teased a major announcement set for June 5, 2025, marking the 50th anniversary of their first live show at New York City's CBGB. The band shared a cryptic social media post featuring a moon and sun clip, sparking widespread fan speculation about a possible reunion tour, their first live performances together since disbanding in 1991. Drummer Chris Frantz hinted at a reunion by posting an image with the caption "We shall return," while all four founding members reunited in 2023 for the 40th anniversary of their concert film, 'Stop Making Sense.' Despite a reported $80 million reunion tour offer reportedly turned down previously, the band has been active in reissuing remastered albums and live recordings, maintaining their legacy as pioneers of New Wave music. David Byrne has expressed regret over the band's breakup, describing his past behavior as tyrannical and acknowledging the split was handled poorly but inevitable. Fans remain hopeful that the upcoming announcement will include a reunion tour to celebrate the band's influential history.
