Playback presents Stop Making Sense
Dublin City, Co. Dublin
15 May 2026
You’ve watched the film in its original version and stunning 4K re-release. You’ve bought the album and danced at the screenings.

Now, four decades on from its original release, Playback bring you a live re-enactment of Talking Heads’ classic concert film Stop Making Sense.

Come, watch and dance the night away as the band blasts through classics like “Psycho Killer”, “Once in a Lifetime”, “Burning Down the House” and “This Must Be the Place”. After the last chord of “Crosseyed and Painless” has faded away, stay for encores selected from among Talking Heads’ greatest hits. There’s truly something for everyone!
