The alternative rock scene of the 1990s was dominated by a handful of acts — and among them were Bush and +Live+. The two acts hit it big in 1994, Gavin Rossdale and Bush with Sixteen Stone and Ed Kowalczyk and +Live+ with Throwing Copper.

25 years later, the two bands are teaming up for a big summer tour commemorating the anniversaries of both those albums, and they’ll do so with the help of Our Lady Peace, another alt/rock act that achieved quite a lot in the ’90s.

This co-headlining tour will bring the bands to 33 cities across the United States, playing all the hits each night.

“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.”

Combined, Throwing Copper (led by singles “Lightning Crashes,” “Selling the Drama” and “All Over You”) and Sixteen Stone (“Machinehead,” “Comedown,” and “Glycerine”) helped the bands sell 20 million albums and become household names — so yes, this tour ought to be fun for children of the ’90s.

“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.”
