From deep within the wizard’s lair, Kate Bush feels a cool breeze against her cheek. Sighs. Brushes away a Dream Unicorn’s silky mane that has been dangling over her nose. She blinks; awakens. “Holy shit,” she says, “somehow I’ve been recording all these albums yet haven’t played a damn concert in 35 years.” The wizard tried to remonstrate. “Fuck it,” said Kate. “I can’t live safely in this mystical Narnia forever. I gotta get to the Hammersmith, er, Eventim Apollo in London.”
And so Kate Bush journeyed on, battling mischievous elves, concert promoters, and falcons with LAZER EYES. And yea! She emerged from August 26 to September 19 at the venue formerly known as the Hammersmith Apollo, now rebranded as the, er, Eventim Apollo. The residency is called “Dubbed Before the Dawn” and tickets go on sale March 28. Bush has only toured one time, back in 1979 for six weeks in Europe, before telling The Guardian, “By the end, I felt a terrific need to retreat as a person, because I felt that my sexuality — which in a way I hadn’t really had a chance to explore myself — was being given to the world in a way which I found impersonal.” So no twerking at this one, sorry y’all.
