After three decades, well over 24 million records sold, a GRAMMY Award nomination, 1 billion streams, and a procession of #1 hits, BUSH stand tall as rock outliers whose imprint only widens as the years pass. Turn on rock radio, and it won't be long before you hear "Glycerine" or "Machinehead." On the big screen, their music courses through blockbuster franchises such as John Wick. On the road, they regularly pack amphitheaters and ignite festival stages. In 1994, the group delivered their seminal debut, Sixteen Stone. It notably achieved a six-times platinum certification, remaining a pillar of modern rock. Rolling Stone cited it among "1994: The 40 Best Records From Mainstream Alternative's Greatest Year," while Stereogum exclaimed, "It feels like music untethered from time, separate from its history." The triple-platinum follow-up, Razorblade Suitcase, bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and boasted "Swallowed," which garnered a GRAMMY Award nomination in the category of "Best Hard Rock Performance." Their catalog spans the platinum The Science of Things [1999] through The Kingdom [2020], which arrived to acclaim highlighted by "Flowers On A Grave" and "Bullet Holes." As indefatigable as ever, the band released its ninth full-length offering, The Art of Survival [BMG] in late 2022. Thus far, they have notched 25 straight Top 40 hits on the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts, earning six #1 entries. This Fall, the band is releasing their first ever career retrospective, Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023.

Full on energy by Gavin, he evrn went trough the crown. Great show.
No lines no wait time affordable for the most part. Great service. Easy to get around
We saw Bush perform in Halifax, NS with opening act, Rival Sons. Rival Sons put on a great show...crazy how this band should be more of a headliner. The epitome of what a rock band should be. They rock hard and Jay Buchanan (leaf singer) can belt out lyrics as good as any of more recognized singers. Swagger and awesome stage presence. Would definitely like to see them play a full show here... Bush still has everything they always had. Gavin Rossdale is a true artist and still belts out lyrics as well as he did 20 years ago. The rest of the band is tight knit. Drummer (Nik Hughes) bests the shit out of the drums while Corey Britz keeps time while adding wicked background vocals. Can't say enough about Chris Traynor, a true rock God guitarist. One of the best shows I've seen in years.
While Bush delivered without issue with as good a concert as the "Loaded"tour in Toronto, the absence or omission of "Filter"left a bit of a bad taste. No explanation or announcement given. This being said, Rival Sons gave an excellent show. The vocal calesthenics demonstrated by Jay Buchanan was old school rock revival. The band played tightly for an extended set due to the second act's removal. Bush brought their A Game starting off blisteringly with "Evertyhing Zen"before slipping slickly into "Machine Head". Gavin Rossdale interacted with the audience and as always was gracious and grateful. The "Flowers on A Grave"performance allowed Rossdale a walkabout in the audience all the way to the nosebleeds. The capper as expected with bilingual shout out was "Glycerine"the song that kicked their career into high gear. Yet another great Bush performance in a city perpetually thirsting for rock music.

This was one of my favourite concerts to date. I am very happy with my seat choice (floor 1, row J), I could see everything!! I loved that Gavin roamed the crowd, I thought that was so cool!! I would definitely see Bush, live again!!
The concert was amazing. Their high energy and vibe is real! The meet & greet was exactly what I had hoped for. I saw Bush in concert June 2024 at Iceberg Alley Performance Tent in St John's, Newfoundland. They were so good that I flew to Halifax May 2025 to see them again and added on the VIP meet & greet portion. It was well worth it! Looking forward to my next opportunity to see them play live again!
Kind of a bucket list concert to see ( Sixteen stone was the first CD I bought as a kid with his own money! ) and it did not disappoint. Gavin sounded fantastic, and the entire performance was tight and rocked ( pun intended haha!! ) during Flowers on a grave Gavin left stage and spent practically the entire song roaming the crowd taking selfies with people. He covered probably 2/3 of the crowd.( unfortunately didnt get our way, but was still pretty cool to see that level of engagemen). They started with everything zen, and Machine head, and ended on the encore with Glycerine and comedown! Played a fair amount from Sixteen stone, couple songs from razorblade suitcase, and then at least one from the other releases! Gavin, even at 60 still kills it and brings a ton to the performance. Wish It didnt take so long to see em, and would love to catch em again!
Show was great, very well organized, perfect event for my 13 year old daughter’s first real concert. Only complaint was that the sound was a little muffled at times, other than that, it was amazing!!!
