New Wave band Talking Heads, best known for their hits Once in a Lifetime and Road to Nowhere, could be reforming following a cryptic social media clue.
Excited music lovers have gone wild after the band’s official Instagram page posted an obscure video animation.
The short footage simply features the date: “6/5/2025.”
The precise date refers back to June 5, 1975, when Talking Heads played its first-ever show at the CBGB club in New York.
Fans begged: “Just get back together for some shows and make the world a brighter place!”
A second penned: “You teases!”
A third argued: “Give the people what they really want and need, and that’s a tour!!!!”
“If it’s not a tour I will be so upset,” exclaimed another.
“If this is a tour I will lose my mind and all my money for it… if it’s not, I will cry!” urged a desperate fan.
The band has not played together since their last gig on February 6, 1984 in New Zealand.

In January 2024, it was reported that the band turned down tens of millions to reunite after being approached to perform at six to eight festivals, including headlining slots.
Despite receiving an alleged £62m offer, Billboard claimed the group’s four members – David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Frantz and Tina Weymouth – walked away.
The band released their final album Naked in 1988 before disbanding in 1991.
Talking Heads rebranded as Shrunken Heads and toured briefly before going their separate ways.
In 2003, Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time included four albums by the band.
Their songs Psycho Killer, Life During Wartime and Once in a Lifetime were included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
