In 2019, both bands are celebrating the 25^th anniversary of landmark albums. Live released Throwing Copper in 1994 with hit singles “Lightning Crashes,” while Bush released Sixteen Stone which broke through with tracks like “Glycerine.”

“Sixteen Stone propelled us onto the musical landscape,” said 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.”

“It’s an amazing feeling to know that these songs still resonate so profoundly with people,” said 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.”

The tour will also feature Canadian rockers Our Lady Peace, who are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their debut album Naveed, which featuree the alt-rock hit “Starseed.”
