BUSH starts touring UK for First Time in Eight Years
Following the release of their acclaimed 10th album, “I Beat Loneliness”, BUSH are set to arrive for their first UK tour in eight years. Led by singer and guitarist Gavin Rossdale, the band will hit arenas in Nottingham, Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London this November as special guests of Danish rockers Volbeat.
Singer Gavin Rossdale said: ‘The reaction to “I Beat Loneliness” has been brilliant. We’re looking forward to playing for everyone. Lots of songs to choose from. It’s been too long, and we’re thrilled to be coming. See you there!’
The Peach Review described a North American show this summer as an ‘incredible performance, full of energy’, while Parklife DC wrote that a show was ‘far from a heritage act, blending their iconic ’90s sound with a vibrant, contemporary edge’.
BUSH burst into the rock firmament in 1994 with the classic alternative album “Sixteen Stone”, which featured singles including “Glycerine” and “Machinehead”. Since then, major tracks have included “Swallowed”, “The Chemicals Between Us” and this year’s “The Land of Milk and Honey”, which became a number one track on US Rock Radio this summer. It marked the group’s eighth number one radio track in the US.
The project represents Gavin’s most personal artistic statement to date, exploring issues around mental health and his own well-being. Marking World Mental Health Day on 10 October, the BUSH x Project Healthy Minds hub was launched to provide fans in the US with educational resources, tools, and different ways to connect with mental health support networks.
Gavin, a longtime mental health advocate, sees this partnership as a natural extension of his mission to break stigma and encourage open conversations about emotional well-being—especially among men, an area he acknowledges many struggle with. Through this initiative, BUSH aims to use its platform not only to raise awareness but also to provide fans with actionable resources and support.
To coincide with the partnership, BUSH released a video for the title track from “I Beat Loneliness”. The song explores the fragility between hardship and hope, encouraging listeners to seek out the light in difficult moments. Gavin said: ‘It’s a great paradox, and it shows living in the moment and being full of hope and wonder.’
