Live Shows
Two extraordinary moments on stage.
From the theatrical ambition of 1979 to an extraordinary return 35 years later, Kate Bush’s live history is brief, rare and unlike almost any other.
Kate Bush’s story on stage is defined by two remarkable creative periods: the groundbreaking Tour of Life in 1979 and her long-awaited return with Before the Dawn in 2014.
