Gavin Rossdale, lead singer of the iconic rock band Bush, has expressed his desire for the group to perform at Glastonbury in 2027. The upcoming appearance would mark a significant milestone—25 years since Bush last took to the stage at the renowned Worthy Farm festival.
Reflecting on their previous show, Gavin told The Sun’s Bizarre column, “I thought we did quite well when we played there, but we never went back so it could be time. I would love to play Glastonbury. I still remember that show. It’s brilliant and it would be 25 years…”
Bush recently released their latest studio album, I Beat Loneliness, a deeply personal project dedicated to their dedicated fanbase that has supported them since the 1990s. Gavin elaborated on the album’s meaning: “I wanted to make a record for the people who have gotten stuff from our records. It’s about me, but I realised that I’m no different than anyone else. Everyone is fighting different battles at all times. But it’s important to have so much fun in life.”

He candidly added, “Life is beautiful, but it has its kind of moments where just out of nowhere, people will just mess with you or life messes with you—things happen to you, or to people you love. Writing a record that spoke to that experience seemed the most valuable thing to do.”
Injecting humor, Gavin joked about his songwriting inspirations: “Plus, I don’t have any stories of holidays on yachts. So I didn’t know what to write about. Every time I look at Instagram, I think, ‘Why is that not me?’ Leo [DiCaprio] has never invited me anywhere.”
Gavin also shared insights into his music-making process at home, where his sons often provide honest feedback. “My recording room is in the bedroom between two of my kids’ rooms,” he said. “I did a remix of ‘Machinehead,’ one of our earliest songs, and to be honest, I was impressed with myself. Then my 16-year-old son, who’s a really good guitar player, walks in and says, ‘You’re not releasing that?’ I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ He goes, ‘You’re taking legend and you’re really destroying it.’”
With a nostalgic look back and fresh new material, Gavin Rossdale and Bush are poised for a potential celebrated return to one of the world’s biggest music festivals.
