The members of Talking Heads are set to reunite for the first time since their 2002 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival on Monday, September 11, for a special Q&A with host Spike Lee, who directed frontman David Byrne’s American Utopia concert film. The Q&A will take place right after the premiere of A24’s Stop Making Sense 4K restoration of the 1984 original during the festival.
Directed by Jonathan Demme, Stop Making Sense was filmed over three nights as the band performed at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood, CA in December of 1983, and features a full set of their biggest hits, including “Psycho Killer,” “Burning Down the House,” and tons more.
A global IMAX theater release will happen simultaneously on September 11 also featuring the night’s Q&A, followed by a wider IMAX release on September 22 and a full theater release a week later. Watch the official trailer for the 4K restored Stop Making Sense and take a look at the full tracklisting below. Tickets are on sale now.
