LOS ANGELES, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Seminal rock
bands +LIVE+ and BUSH are joining forces for The
ALT-IMATE Tour, a high-powered co-headline summer run that will
see these two iconic acts celebrating the 25th
anniversary of their respective landmark albums Throwing
Copper and Sixteen Stone. Produced by Live Nation,
this hits-packed road show will hit arenas and outdoor
amphitheaters in 33 cities across the country, kicking off
June 6th in Mashantucket,
CT with stops in Boston,
Los Angeles, Atlanta and more before wrapping September 8th in Rochester, MI at Meadow Brook
Amphitheatre.
"We are thrilled to be touring this summer with LIVE," says BUSH
frontman Gavin Rossdale. "The wealth
and depth of songs from both bands should provide a great night of
music. Looking forward to seeing you all this summer."
"Bush is a great band and Gavin is a super passionate singer and
performer. I'm really looking forward to spending the summer
with them," said +LIVE+ frontman Ed Kowalczyk. "I know
the fans are going to get one hell of a show."
Released in 1994 and fueled by blockbuster No. 1 singles
"Lightning Crashes," "Selling The Drama," "Glycerine," "Comedown"
and "Machinehead," breakthrough albums Throwing Copper and
Sixteen Stone sold more than 20 million albums combined.
Both were spotlighted on Rolling Stone's list, "1994: The 40
Best Records From Mainstream Alternative's Greatest Year," and
remain timeless favorites, thanks to radio staples that include
"Everything Zen," "Little Things," "I Alone" and "All Over
You."
"It's an amazing feeling to know that these songs still resonate
so profoundly with people," says Kowalczyk. "And I still
totally get off on celebrating this music with them.
With Throwing Copper, we were taking on big things with
a big sound. Love, truth, birth, death, philosophy, religion,
spirituality...we were asking the perennial questions and poking
around for answers with this massive and dynamic sound. It
attracted people from all over the world. We were inviting them to
imagine that rock and roll could be a valid forum for exploring
these types of things...we built it and they came."
"Sixteen Stone propelled us onto the musical landscape,"
says Rossdale. "Those songs have found a way into the soundtrack of
people's lives and that is the highest compliment available. We've
continued to make music that resonates with people."

ABOUT BUSH:
With a discography that includes such
monumental rock albums as 1994's 6x platinum-selling SIXTEEN
STONE, '96's triple-platinum-selling RAZORBLADE SUITCASE
and '99's platinum-selling THE SCIENCE OF
THINGS, BUSH has sold close to 20 million records in the
U.S. and Canada alone. They've
also compiled an amazing string of 18 consecutive Top 40 hit
singles on the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts. Eleven of
those hit the Top 5, six of which shot to No. 1: "Comedown,"
"Glycerine," "Machinehead," "Swallowed," "The Chemicals Between Us"
and "The Sound of Winter." The latter made rock radio history as
the first self-released song ever to hit No. 1 at Alternative
Radio, where it spent 6 weeks perched atop the chart's top spot.
The song appeared on 2011's "comeback album," THE SEA OF
MEMORIES, which was BUSH's first studio album in ten
years. That year Billboard ran a story
about the band under the headline, "Like They Never Left" – a
fitting title as the multi-platinum quartet
(vocalist/songwriter/guitarist Gavin
Rossdale, guitarist Chris
Traynor, drummer Robin
Goodridge and bassist Corey
Britz) promptly picked up where they left off. They've
continued to dominate rock radio and play sold-out shows to
audiences around the world ever since. The band is currently
working on the follow-up to 2017's Black And White Rainbows,
which People magazine hailed as "a triumphant return."

ABOUT +LIVE+:
+LIVE+, the multi-platinum band from
Pennsylvania--Ed Kowalczyk (vocals, guitar), Chad Taylor (guitar, backing vocals),
Patrick Dahlheimer (bass) and
Chad Gracey (drums,
percussion)--have sold over 22 million albums worldwide and earned
two number one albums (Throwing Copper, Secret
Samadhi). Their catalog is filled with such gems as "Lightning
Crashes," "I Alone," "All Over You," and "Lakini's Juice," which
live on today as classics at rock radio. Throwing
Copper—which is being celebrated in 2019 with a new deluxe
25th anniversary edition via
Radioactive/Geffen/Ume--produced the band's biggest single,
"Lightning Crashes," which was #1 at Modern Rock radio for 10
consecutive weeks. Throwing Copper reached #1 on the
Billboard Top 200 and eventually surpassed sales of 10 million
albums sold with Rolling Stone honoring the album with
placement on their list, "1994: The 40 Best Records From Mainstream
Alternative's Greatest Year." Secret Samadhi (1997)
immediately shot to #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and
eventually went double platinum. The release of the
platinum-selling The Distance to Here (1999) turned +LIVE+
into an international powerhouse and moved the band from arenas
into stadiums. +LIVE+ has been and remains today a global concert
juggernaut. The band released an acclaimed five-song EP in
2018, LOCAL 717, their first new music in over a
decade.
