Bush in Concert at UPMC Events Center (Tues., 4/7/26)

Let us pose a question: Did Bush start out as a grunge band, or were they post-grunge, and have they become something else since their 2002 breakup and 2010 reincarnation—or what? Genre identities matter to some people, because they’re tied to cultural and aesthetic identities, which is why they’ve been debated ever since Edgar Degas painted impressionistic pictures and exhibited with the impressionists while angrily insisting that he wasn’t an impressionist. But the facts on Bush are as follows: Their landmark 1994 album Sixteen Stone went multi-platinum and still hits home—especially on tracks like “Everything Zen” with its iconic, ironic “I don’t think so” refrain. Their latest studio album is 2025’s I Beat Loneliness. They sure weren’t lonely when they played to a packed house at PPG Paints Arena last year with Shinedown. Gavin Rossdale, cofounder and lead singer of Bush, still fronts the band and puts on a great show. See our concert review from last year’s PPG show. This year, Bush will be joined by Mammoth and James and the Cold Gun. 7 p.m. UPMC Events Center, 6001 University Blvd., RMU, Moon Township. (M.V., R.H.)
