About This Event

Playback presents Stop Making Sense at the Oh Yeah Music Centre in Belfast on 12 December 2026, offering an immersive tribute to the iconic film and album. Four decades after its release, the production will recreate the electric atmosphere of The Band's final performance with a dynamic live experience. Tickets are available from £20.00 for this upcoming event.

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. Floor lamp? Check. Big suit? Check. A tape they’d like to play? Check. 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!
