Bush Delivers at Hard Rock Live 5/12/26
The Land of Milk and Honey Tour is a 2026 spring headlining concert tour by the British alternative rock band Bush across the United States. The multi-platinum group launched the 23-stop trek to support their tenth studio album, I Beat Loneliness. Named after the album’s hit active-rock radio single, the tour serves as the band’s first dedicated headline run for the new record.
Tour Logistics and Lineup
The headlining run kicked off on April 7, 2026, at the UPMC Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It mapped a route through major music markets including Washington, D.C., Brooklyn, Boston, Seattle, and Denver. The standard theater and amphitheater dates concluded on May 15, 2026, in Franklin, Tennessee, before wrapping up with a high-profile festival slot at the Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival in Columbus, Ohio, on May 16, 2026. To create a dynamic rock lineup, Bush recruited Wolfgang Van Halen’s band Mammoth WVH and James and the Cold Gun as special guests.
Musical Themes and Setlists
Frontman Gavin Rossdale and his bandmates—guitarist Chris Traynor, bassist Corey Britz, and drummer Nik Hughes—designed the tour to bridge the band’s multi-decade history. The live sets emphasize raw emotional energy and social commentary. Alongside core 1994 Sixteen Stone classics, the performances showcase new material tackling themes of isolation, youth mental health, and resilience. Reviews highlight the seamless transition between heavy 90s grunge staples and the fresh sonic textures of the title track, proving the band’s lasting musical footprint.
An Unforgettable Performance
On May 12, 2026, Bush delivered an electrifying, powerhouse performance at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. Frontman Gavin Rossdale commanded the stage with his signature raw energy and magnetic presence, instantly captivating the packed crowd. The band tore through their intense 90-minute set with absolute precision, seamlessly blending nostalgic ’90s grunge hits like “Machinehead” and “Comedown” with triumphant tracks from their tenth studio album, I Beat Loneliness. A gripping, stripped-back performance of “Glycerine” served as a major highlight, prompting a massive audience sing-along that solidified an unforgettable night of high-octane rock.
