We are super excited to get back out on the road this year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Throwing Copper, said Lives Ed Kowalczyk of their second LP. It feels like the planets are aligning in a really magical way for us lately. Our reunion is now a few years old, and with every concert, we feel like we are breaking into new levels of power and confidence onstage. I can truly say that LIVE is better than ever, and its all coming together just in time for this special anniversary in our career.

The singer added that Live jumped at the chance to tour with Bush. Having had both our bands respective breakthrough albums released in 1994, theres a kind of kinship there in our collective experience that I think is really cool and unique, he said.I had a chance to reconnect with Gavin and Bush at a show we recently played together in Mexico, and I was blown away by their performance.As we watched Bush from the side of the stage, I leaned over to Chad Taylor and yelled in his ear, This summer isgonnafuckin rock!'
We are thrilled to be touring this summer with Live, said Bushs 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 Sixteen Stonepropelled us onto the musicallandscape. Thosesongs have found a way into the soundtrack of peoples lives and that is the highest compliment available. Weve continued to make music that resonates with people.
Kowalczyk continued with Live until the bands 2009 hiatus but didnt rejoin for the groups 2012 reunion or their eighth LP, 2014s The Turn, which features singer Chris Shinn. Bush originally broke up in 2002 but have released three albums since regrouping in 2010, including their most recent, 2017s Black and White Rainbows.
