In a stunning and unexpected announcement, legendary British singer-songwriter Kate Bush has confirmed her return to the global stage with a 2025 world tour, marking her first full-scale live tour in over four decades. Alongside this, the enigmatic artist also revealed that a brand-new studio album is set for release later this year, thrilling fans who have long awaited fresh music from the reclusive icon.
A Long-Awaited Return to the Stage
The upcoming tour, titled “Dreaming Again: The Kate Bush World Tour 2025,” is set to take Bush across multiple continents, including stops in Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia. This marks her first major tour since 1979, when she famously embarked on the Tour of Life, a theatrical and visually groundbreaking live experience that captivated audiences but was never followed up with additional touring.
The decision to return to live performances comes after years of speculation and increasing demand from fans, especially following the resurgence of her music in popular culture. Her 1985 song “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)” saw a massive revival in 2022 after being featured in Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things, introducing her work to a new generation of listeners and pushing the track to the top of international charts.
While Bush performed a historic 22-night residency in London with her 2014 “Before the Dawn” concerts, she has never embarked on a worldwide tour—until now.
“I never thought I’d do this again,” Bush shared in a rare public statement. “Performing live is an intense experience, but I feel the time is right. I’ve been deeply moved by the love and support I’ve received over the years, and I want to share something truly special with everyone who has followed my journey.”
New Album on the Horizon
In addition to her tour announcement, Bush also confirmed that a new studio album, her first since 2011’s “50 Words for Snow,” will be released in late 2025. While details remain scarce, sources close to the artist suggest that the album will feature a mix of ethereal soundscapes, poetic storytelling, and innovative production techniques, staying true to her signature style while exploring new creative directions.
Bush has reportedly been working on the album in secret for several years, drawing inspiration from personal experiences, literature, and modern technological themes. Music industry insiders speculate that the project could include collaborations with renowned musicians, although no official features have been announced yet.
Tour Dates and Ticket Information
The first round of tour dates and ticket details will be released next month, with pre-sale access expected to sell out rapidly. Given Bush’s limited live performances in the past, demand for tickets is expected to be overwhelming.
Fans and critics alike are already hailing this as one of the most significant musical events of the decade, as Bush’s return to the stage and studio marks a monumental moment in music history.
