On 19th October 1984, Talking Heads and Jonathan Demme released the greatest concert movie of all time.
On Friday 10th April 2026, Slippery People will recreate ‘Stop Making Sense’ at Albert Hall in the city of Manchester.

This follows on from their incredible debut at Gorilla that sold out in a matter of weeks – expect pulsating basslines, big suits, wild synths and some extra special surprises.

The film was like no other concert-movie that had come before – for one, the viewer doesn’t see the audience until the final song. But what really makes Stop Making Sense stand out is the form it takes. David Byrne walking on stage armed only with a guitar and a beatbox performs ‘Psycho Killer’ solo. He’s joined by bass player Tina Weymouth for the ballad ‘Heaven’ and then drummer Chris Frantz for ‘Thank you For Sending Me An Angel’ with Jerry Harrison completing the founding line-up of the band for the staccato ‘Found A Job’.

But this is where Talking Heads are just getting warmed up.
Each song brings new members on to the stage; a percussionist, backing singers, virtuoso funk guitarist Alex Weir and the great Bernie Worrell with his signature synth sound that elevates the whole show beyond that of a normal rock concert and into the stratosphere.

Sadly, the tour which preceded ‘Stop Making Sense’ was the last from the band and fans have been unable to see the magic that was made on that night in 1984 live. There have been reissues of the concert film, which received a cinematic release in 2023, and solo runs from David Byrne, perhaps most notably his ‘American Utopia’ tour but Talking Heads never reunited to play together.

And so Slippery People, the band consisting of 10 members, will play all of the Talking Heads songs featured in the film. From ‘Psycho Killer’ to ‘Burning Down The House’ to ‘Once In A Lifetime’ and everything in between.
They have a tape they’d like to play for you. And everyone is getting involved.
