Hear Kate Bush as never before in new show heading to Leicester

A unique celebration of Kate Bush comes to Leicester next year.

The show, called Classically Kate Bush, sees the legendary singer-songwriter’s era-defining and timeless songs - including Cloudbusting, Hounds of Love, Babooshka, Wuthering Heights and Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) - brought to life by a live band and an 18-piece orchestra.

Performed by The Hounds of Love, leading interpreters of Kate Bush’s songbook, the show offers a rare opportunity to experience her music performed live with full orchestral arrangements, honouring both Bush’s experimental spirit and her catalogue’s classical influences.

Kate Bush’s music has seen a remarkable resurgence in recent years, reaffirming her status as one of the most visionary and influential artists of all time. Despite her physical absence from the spotlight, Bush remains a totemic figure in popular culture, her work continually rediscovered by new generations while remaining deeply cherished by long-standing fans.

This revival reached a new peak with the global phenomenon of Stranger Things, which propelled Running Up That Hill back into the charts worldwide, introducing her music to millions of younger listeners and cementing her enduring relevance across decades.

A famously rare live performer, Kate Bush has always made appearances on her own terms - making opportunities to hear her music performed live precious and sought-after.

Classically Kate Bush comes to the De Montfort Hall on May 20, 2027. Visit demontforthall.co.uk or call 0116 233 3111 to book.
