Following the overwhelming success of their sold-out 2025 performances and having also completely sold out their one-off London date later this year, the world-renowned Cloudbusting – The Music of Kate Bush are back with a brand-new 2027 tour.
The band will bring their ‘Classical Kate Bush’ live experience to some of the nation’s most prestigious concert halls next year, including Birmingham’s Town Hall, accompanied once again by the West London Sinfonia.
Featuring bespoke arrangements by BAFTA & Ivor Novello award-winning composer Rob Lane, Classical Kate Bush marries the raw energy of a live rock band with the soaring thrill of a world-class fifty-piece symphony orchestra.
“The reaction to our 2025 shows was beyond anything we could have imagined,” says lead vocalist Mandy Watson.
“There is something uniquely spiritual about hearing these songs performed with a full orchestra. After such a phenomenal reaction to our performances there was no question about it – we absolutely had to do it again, to share this magic with even more people in 2027.”
Under the baton of conductor Philip Hesketh and leader of the orchestra Iwona Boesche, the show’s setlist will span Kate’s entire career — from the ethereal heights of The Kick Inside to the conceptual mastery of The Ninth Wave and beyond, covering hits like Cloudbusting, Hounds of Love, and Running Up That Hill.
Mandy adds: “Performing Kate’s music is always an emotional journey, but to do so with a 50-piece orchestra is simply surreal. Many of her songs have such an inherent cinematic quality — they were always meant to be this ‘big’. Having that wall of sound behind me doesn’t just change the scale; it allows us to explore the emotional core and ‘unheard dialects’ of her work in a way that feels like a homecoming. I want every fan to leave feeling like they’ve experienced the absolute depth of her genius.”
Cloudbusting and the West London Sinfonia’s Classical Kate Bush comes to Birmingham’s Town Hall Sat 26 Jun 2027.
