Experience the legendary concert film *Stop Making Sense* brought to life in Liverpool. This event celebrates the iconic 1984 film directed by Jonathan Demme, featuring the American rock band Talking Heads in a groundbreaking performance. The film was shot over four nights in December 1983 at Hollywood's Pantages Theatre and is widely regarded as the greatest concert film of all time.

Attendees can expect a screening of the 4K restoration, showcasing the band's full lineup including David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, and additional musicians like Bernie Worrell and Steve Scales. The setlist spans Talking Heads classics from "Psycho Killer" to "Burning Down the House," along with songs from Tom Tom Club and David Byrne's solo work.

This event offers a unique opportunity to witness a culturally significant film that was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. The restored version, re-released by A24 in 2023, brings the energy and innovation of the original concert to a new generation of fans.
