Talking Heads Hint at Potential Comeback—First Performance in 41 Years Teased for 2025
A Mysterious Teaser Sparks Excitement
On June 5, 1975, Talking Heads played their first show at CBGB in New York City. Now, fifty years later, fans are buzzing about a possible reunion. The band’s official Instagram page posted a cryptic video showing only the date “June 5, 2025.” This has led many to believe that the band might be planning something special for that day.
The group, made up of David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison, is known for shaping the New Wave genre. Their songs like “Psycho Killer,” “Life During Wartime,” and “Once in a Lifetime” have been recognized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as songs that shaped rock and roll.

Fans React to the Possibility
Talking Heads haven’t performed together since February 6, 1984, in Christchurch, New Zealand. Despite this long break, the recent teaser has reignited hope among fans. Comments on social media range from excitement to pleas for a tour. One fan wrote, “Just get back together for some shows and make the world a brighter place!” Another said, “If this is a tour I will lose my mind and all my money for it… if it’s not, I will cry!”
In the past, the band has turned down reunion offers. In 2024, they reportedly declined a £62 million offer to perform at several major festivals. Despite this, the recent teaser has given fans renewed hope.
Band Members Reflect on Their Legacy
In recent interviews, the band members have shared their thoughts on their music and the possibility of reuniting. Tina Weymouth said, “We’re just savoring the moment. We’re so happy that it’s resulted in this wonderful thing that’s lasted 40 years. And we’re not really looking too far into the future.”
Jerry Harrison added, “There’s no question, though, that it revives the joy we had together. I think for each one of us, watching the film, we feel the joy—not just the four of us, but everybody that was onstage, and the crew. It’s certainly tugging on the heartstrings of how much I loved everybody.”
A Possible New Chapter
While nothing has been officially confirmed, the teaser has certainly stirred excitement. Fans are eagerly awaiting June 5, 2025, to see what the band has planned. Whether it’s a one-time performance or something more, the possibility of seeing Talking Heads together again is thrilling for many.
