Stop Making Sense Live by Slippery People

Slippery People bring Stop Making Sense Live to Queen’s Hall on Friday 26 February 2027. The 7pm show recreates the famous Talking Heads concert film as a live stage performance.

The production follows the film’s gradual build, starting sparsely before adding musicians, movement, lighting, and the oversized-suit visual associated with the original concert.

Key Event Details

What To Expect

Talking Heads fans can expect songs from the concert film presented in sequence, with the band aiming to reproduce the tight rhythms, nervous energy, and art-school stagecraft that made it stand out. The recreation is designed as a full performance rather than a general Talking Heads covers set.

Queen’s Hall is a useful size for this kind of project. It gives the group room for the visual staging while keeping the audience close enough to catch the small changes as the performance grows from one musician into a full band.

Tickets & Entry

Tickets £30.25, including booking fee. Ticket availability and seat choices can change, so use the official event page for the latest options, age guidance, and booking terms.

Location

Queen’s Hall is on Clerk Street in Edinburgh’s Southside. The former church is one of the city’s best-known concert venues, with an intimate auditorium that works well for detailed live recreations and seated music events.

Getting There

Frequent buses run along Clerk Street, South Clerk Street, and Nicolson Street. Edinburgh Waverley is roughly a 15 to 20-minute walk away, while parking nearby can be limited on busy evenings.

Our Tips

• This is a tribute to a specific concert film, so it should appeal most to fans who know the original Stop Making Sense staging and song order.
• Check the start time and ticket details again before travelling, especially for dates several months ahead.
• Use public transport where possible, as city-centre parking is limited around all three venues.
