Kate Bush is coming back to the London stage after a 35-year break in performing.

Kate Bush has announced she is to play 15 concerts in the UK later this year.

An announcement on Kate Bush’s official website said she will play 15 shows at London’s Hammersmith Apollo in August and September.

The title for the show is Before the Dawn and the first date will be August 26.

Kate Bush, whose hits include Wuthering Heights and Hounds of Love, last toured in 1979.

“I am delighted to announce that we will be performing some live shows this coming August and September,” she said.

“I hope you will be able to join us and I look forward to seeing you there.”

Tickets go on sale 09:30 GMT Friday, March 28.

Kate Bush’s first ever tour in 1979 featured mime, magic and poetry alongside her music, but it reportedly took its toll on the singer, then just 20.

The six-week tour, which travelled around Britain and mainland Europe, ended at the Hammersmith Odeon – now the Hammersmith Apollo – the venue she has chosen to return to for the new shows.

Kate Bush, whose other hits include Running Up That Hill and Babooshka, has won both Brit and Ivor Novello awards.

In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II honored Kate Bush with a CBE for services to music.
