About the event
From See Tickets's listing
SPEAKING IN TONGUES - TALKING HEADS: 1977-2027 50 years since the debut LP was released by Talking Heads 'Talking Heads: 77', Speaking in Tongues celebrate the iconic album performing selections from the album along with the hits and fan favourites from the Talking Heads back catalgoue. Talking Heads formed in New York City in 1975. The group consisted of David Byrne on vocals and guitar, Chris Frantz on drums, Tina Weymouth on bass, and Jerry Harrison on keyboards and guitar. Emerging from New York's punk and new-wave scene, the band became known for combining rock with elements of funk, punk, art rock, and world music. Their intelligent, unusual lyrics and distinctive rhythms helped them stand apart from many other bands of the era. Some of their best-known songs include 'Psycho Killer', 'Once in a Lifetime', 'Burning Down the House' and 'Road to Nowhere'. Albums such as Fear of Music, Remain in Light, and Speaking in Tongues received widespread acclaim, while their 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense became especially celebrated. The band stopped performing together in the early 1990s, with the members pursuing other musical projects. Speaking in Tongues have been one of the world's finest groups celebrating the music of Talking Heads for over 20+ years. We are thrilled to welcome them back to London for their first concert in years. An AGMP Concerts presentation.

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: See Tickets. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in London: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. See Tickets's includes its booking fee, and it adds an order fee to each booking (£1.25 to £4 on the events I checked), which I show beside the price. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
