Contemporary Color Tickets

Contemporary Color is a bold, collaborative live project conceived by music icon David Byrne and developed with major cultural partners BAM and Luminato. The concept brings together ten color guard teams performing to original music crafted by acclaimed artists such as St. Vincent, Nelly Furtado, Dev Hynes, Zola Jesus, Nico Muhly + Ira Glass, and Ad-Rock + Money Mark. Since its premiere in 2015, Contemporary Color has pushed the boundaries of how music, movement, and visual spectacle converge on stage.

Although there is no dedicated Contemporary Color social-media channel, information about the project is maintained on David Byrne’s official pages and archival materials. The live shows have been documented in the 2016 feature film Contemporary Color, directed by Turner Ross and Bill Ross IV, which has received multiple awards, including Cinema Eye Honors in 2024 for Outstanding Nonfiction Feature, Outstanding Original Score, and Outstanding Sound Design. While 2025 touring is not announced, fans can stay informed via official project listings and our ticket pages for future opportunities to experience this innovative collaboration.

Here’s what you’ll find on this page: a concise biography of the project, discography highlights tied to the performances, and up-to-date info on any upcoming appearances or related screenings. We’ve got you covered with easy access to tickets and reliable details.
