+LIVE+ and Bush Announce Co-Headlining Tour

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of their iconic albums, Throwing Copper and Sixteen Stone, the two bands are joining forces for a summer tour.

+LIVE+ and Bush are heading out on the road for an arena and outdoor amphitheater tour which begins on June 6 in Mashantucket, CT. The ALT-IMATE tour will hit 33 cities across the country before wrapping on September 8 in Rochester, MI. 

“We are thrilled to be touring this summer with LIVE,” says BUSH frontman Gavin Rossdale. “The wealth and depth of songs from both bands should provide a great night of music. Looking forward to seeing you all this summer.”

“Bush is a great band and Gavin is a super passionate singer and performer. I’m really looking forward to spending the summer with them,” said +LIVE+ frontman Ed Kowalczyk. “I know the fans are going to get one hell of a show.”

Throwing Copper includes number one singles “Lightning Crashes” and “Selling The Drama.” Sixteen Stone was packed with the number one singles “Glycerine,” “Comedown,” and “Machinehead.” Both albums featured in Rolling Stone’s “1994: The 40 Best Records From Mainstream Alternative’s Greatest Year.” 

“It’s an amazing feeling to know that these songs still resonate so profoundly with people,” says Kowalczyk. “And I still totally get off on celebrating this music with them. With Throwing Copper, we were taking on big things with a big sound. Love, truth, birth, death, philosophy, religion, spirituality…we were asking the perennial questions and poking around for answers with this massive and dynamic sound. It attracted people from all over the world. We were inviting them to imagine that rock and roll could be a valid forum for exploring these types of things…we built it and they came.”

“Sixteen Stone propelled us onto the musical landscape,” says Rossdale. “Those songs have found a way into the soundtrack of people’s lives and that is the highest compliment available. We’ve continued to make music that resonates with people.”
