Featuring Conor O’Brien, Mick Harvey, Jehnny Beth, Stealing Sheep and more, immerse yourself into Lynch’s universe, with landmark instrumental tracks and exciting new versions of songs from his films.

In Dreams is the world premiere of a new live homage to the songs and music from David Lynch’s films, bringing together a stellar cast of singers to reinterpret these classic songs and performed by a superb band assembled and led by musical director David Coulter.

From the romantic songs of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, to the violence of iconic scenes in Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart or Lost Highway, sound is a vital component of David Lynch’s films – it’s in the wind, in the air, and in the people’s thoughts; his carefully chosen songs conveying his characters’ mental states. Lynch’s songbook includes original versions by Roy Orbison, David Bowie, Chris Isaak, Samuel Barber, Marilyn Manson and Elvis Presley.
