On 19th October 1984, Talking Heads and Jonathan Demme released the greatest concert movie of all time.

On Thursday, the 9th, and Friday, the 10th of April 2026, Slippery People will recreate ‘Stop Making Sense’ live on stage at Albert Hall in the city of Manchester.

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

The band 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 Lietime’ and everything in between.

They have a tape they’d like to play for you. And everyone is getting involved.
