Talking Heads Reject Reunion Offers from Coachella and Live Nation

Despite substantial financial offers, including $80 million from Live Nation, the band has declined to perform reunion shows.

Talking Heads reportedly turned down offers from both Coachella and Live Nation to reunite for performances, rejecting as much as $80 million for six to eight festival appearances.
Paul Tollett, president of Coachella organiser Goldenvoice, had intended to make an offer to Talking Heads for a Coachella appearance, but sensed there were no shows happening and did not make an offer.
Live Nation approached the band shortly after Tollett's failed attempt, offering them $80 million for six to eight festival appearances, which the band also rejected.
The band recently reunited for the first time in over 30 years for a panel at the Toronto International Film Festival, celebrating the 40th anniversary of their concert film, Stop Making Sense.
The band has been promoting A24’s 4K remaster of Stop Making Sense, which was also accompanied by the release of a deluxe edition of its soundtrack.
