David Byrne brings his American Utopia world tour to South America for sets at two Lollapalooza festivals this weekend, performing at Parque O'Higgins in Santiago tonight, as part of Lollapalooza Chile, and Hipódromo de San Isidro in Buenos Aires on Sunday, for Lollapalooza Argentina.

Byrne shared a video for "Everybody's Coming To My House" from his new album, American Utopia, featuring a performance by Detroit School of Arts Vocal Jazz Ensemble students. He spoke about it with Trevor Noah on The Daily Show. You can watch both here. Tune in to hear Byrne's Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 this Sunday.

"American Utopia is an album full of pulsating beats and rich textures," says Stereogum. "The new album isn't a throwback; it feels like it could only exist right now." Q says: "Byrne remains as playful and brilliant as ever."

Pianist Jeremy Denk gives a solo recital at Cornell University’s Bailey Hall in Ithaca, New York, tonight. The program includes works by Mozart, Prokofiev, Beethoven, and Schumann. Denk also speaks to Professor Rebecca Harris-Warrick’s class “Classical Music from 1750,” which is open to the public for the occasion this morning.

k.d. lang continues her US Ingénue Redux Tour with concerts at Peabody Opera House in St. Louis tonight and Goodyear Theater in Akron on Saturday. The Portland Mercury praises “this brilliant performer’s unwavering moxie and the supernatural voice she commands with bewildering, effortless, and heart-wrenching precision.” The Los Angeles Times says: “Ingénue sounds as great today as it did upon its release … And what a rich experience it remains.”

Audra McDonald is in Florida this weekend, joining the Naples Philharmonic at Hayes Hall in Naples tonight, followed by a solo performance at Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach on Saturday.
