Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
Who Bush is
Bush is an English rock band formed in London in 1992 and fronted by singer and rhythm guitarist Gavin Rossdale. A Bush ticket buys a loud, guitar-driven rock show that mixes 1990s radio hits such as "Glycerine," "Comedown" and "Machinehead" with songs from the band's post-2010 albums, usually in a theater, an amphitheater or a mid-size arena. The lineup as of 2026 is Rossdale, lead guitarist Chris Traynor, bassist Corey Britz and drummer Nik Hughes.
The band is a rare British act whose success came almost entirely in America. Los Angeles station KROQ-FM added "Everything Zen" in late 1994, and the debut album Sixteen Stone went on to be certified six times multi-platinum by the RIAA. In the UK, by comparison, the band has had only marginal success, so most of its touring is in North America.
The records, from Sixteen Stone to I Beat Loneliness
- Sixteen Stone (1994): peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 and carried "Everything Zen," "Little Things," "Comedown," "Glycerine" and "Machinehead."
- Razorblade Suitcase (1996): the band's only number-one album in the US; "Swallowed" spent seven weeks atop the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
- The Science of Things (1999): added electronic textures; "The Chemicals Between Us" held number one on Modern Rock Tracks for five weeks.
- Golden State (2001): followed by a breakup in 2002.
- The reunion albums: The Sea of Memories (2011, with the Alternative number one "The Sound of Winter"), Man on the Run (2014), Black and White Rainbows (2017), The Kingdom (2020), The Art of Survival (2022) and I Beat Loneliness (July 18, 2025), which Rossdale called "very confessional."
Critics have filed Bush under grunge, post-grunge, alternative rock and hard rock. The band has named Nirvana and the Pixies as key influences, and the recent records lean heavier, a shift Rossdale tied to playing metal-dominated festivals.
What a Bush concert sounds like now
Expect a hard-hitting set that is heavier than the 1990s records suggest. The newer songs sit closer to modern active rock (the hard-rock radio format where Bush still scores hits), and the 1990s singles are the shared singalongs. "The Land of Milk and Honey," from I Beat Loneliness, became the band's eighth number one on US Active Rock radio, so new material is part of the draw, not a bathroom break.
Rossdale is the only original member left; guitarist Nigel Pulsford and bassist Dave Parsons did not return for the 2010 reunion, and drummer Robin Goodridge left in 2019. Traynor first toured with the band in 2002 and has been its lead guitarist since the reunion, so the current group has played together for well over a decade.

Where to sit or stand for Bush
Bush plays three kinds of rooms, and the best ticket differs in each.
- Theaters and music halls (such as The Anthem or MGM Music Hall at Fenway): these often have a standing general-admission floor with balcony seats above. Take the floor to be in the crowd; take the front of the balcony for a clear, seated view of the whole stage.
- Amphitheaters (outdoor sheds with a covered reserved pavilion and a lawn behind): center pavilion seats in the first half of the shed give the best sound and view. The lawn is the casual, lower-cost option; bring a blanket and expect to watch the screens.
- Arenas and co-headline bills: lower-level sections angled toward the stage beat the back of a flat floor. On package tours, check the set order, since a co-headliner's set length and stage time can differ from a solo date.
- Festivals: Bush is one act among many; stake out a spot before the set if you want to be near the front.
How demand for Bush tickets behaves
Bush draws a loyal, multi-generation rock audience, and demand is steadier than spiky.
- Fan presales come first. For the 2026 tour, fans signed up for presale access through the band's site ahead of the January 16, 2026 public on-sale, and limited premium packages were sold separately.
- Package tours sell differently. When Bush shares a bill with bands such as Stone Temple Pilots or Alice in Chains, the combined lineup lifts demand, especially for pavilion seats.
- Weekend dates in large markets go first. Weeknight amphitheater lawns often have the most availability close to the show.
- GA floors hold value. In theaters, the standing floor is usually the first area to tighten.
Every GoodSeats order comes with free shipping. Amphitheater bag and chair rules vary by venue; check the venue's current policy before you go.
