Kate Bush to Perform Her First Live Shows in Decades

Comments

Kate Bush
The last time Kate Bush (PeekYou profile here) toured, Jimmy Carter was president. This would likely have been an irrelevant fact to Ms. Bush, as she never did tour the states… This is all, of course, neither here nor there.

Our point is that it was a really long time ago. The internationally adored artist has only performed live sporadically since that tour — one-off deals here and there, normally for charity — and even that she hasn’t done in decades.

By the dog-days of 2014’s summer, however, this dry streak will be broken as Kate’s announced a string of 15 London live dates to take place this upcoming August and September. The Internet is ablaze with excitement over this rare opportunity to see one of western popular music’s most truly original performers in the flesh.

People will no doubt be traveling from all over the globe to see these shows. If you’re either one of them, or in the vicinity already, here are the dates:

26 August – London’s Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith
27 August – London’s Eventim Apollo
29 August – London’s Eventim Apollo
30 August – London’s Eventim Apollo
2 September – London’s Eventim Apollo
3 September – London’s Eventim Apollo
5 September – London’s Eventim Apollo
6 September – London’s Eventim Apollo
9 September – London’s Eventim Apollo
10 September – London’s Eventim Apollo
12 September – London’s Eventim Apollo
13 September – London’s Eventim Apollo
16 September – London’s Eventim Apollo

You can read more in depth about these shows, as well as find music, videos, photos, social pages, Kate’s personal website, and much else via the many links to be found on her PeekYou profile.

Now to play us out, Kate — accompanied on bass by the late, great Mick Karn of the band Japan — performing “The Wedding List”, at a Prince’s Trust concert in 1982.

Update: Due to popular demand, seven additional dates have been added to the run; they are, September 20, 23, 24, 26, 27 and 30, and October 1.
