Orchestral tribute show with a live band and 18-piece orchestra bringing Kate Bush's songs to life.
Classically Kate Bush comes to the Princess Theatre on Sunday 9 May 2027, with the show starting at 7:30pm. It's a tribute to Kate Bush's songbook, performed by The Hounds of Love, who lead the night with a live band and an 18-piece orchestra. The orchestral arrangements draw on her experimental sound and classical influences, and the whole thing takes its cue from the spirit of her 1979 Tour of Life, which combined theatre, dance and multimedia storytelling.
The setlist runs from her most well-known songs — 'Wuthering Heights', 'Babooshka', 'Hounds of Love', 'Cloudbusting' and 'Running Up That Hill' — through to deeper cuts and studio treasures from albums like The Kick Inside, The Hounds of Love, Never for Ever and The Sensual World. It's a broad look across her catalogue rather than a focus on one era, so you'll hear the big ones alongside the less-familiar tracks.
Bush herself is a famously rare live performer, and her music has seen a huge resurgence after 'Running Up That Hill' featured in the Netflix series Stranger Things, which sent the single back into the charts worldwide and introduced her work to a new generation. That's a good part of why a tribute like this makes sense — it brings those songs to a live stage when the original is so seldom seen.
