The variety show started as a party for “our friends and community of queers and weirdos” to celebrate their appreciation for Bush, said Danielle Redden, a founder of “Night of 1,000 Kates.” The annual event started nine years ago, but this year’s edition, held on April 1, delivered on the event’s numerical promise for the first time: About 1,100 people attended, according to the show’s organizers. Many of the celebrants wore crimson dresses, dark sequins and other fancy goth attire inspired by Bush, who, as in years past, was present only in spirit. About 80 performers, including professional and amateur musicians, dancers and video artists, participated in more than 20 acts inspired by the singer. The crowd at Union Transfer, a concert hall just outside Philadelphia’s Chinatown, was almost twice as big as that of last year’s show. The rising interest in “Night of 1,000 Kates” reflects the lasting appeal of Bush, whose 1985 song “Running Up That Hill (a Deal With God)” topped charts in 2022 — 37 years after it was released — thanks largely to its prominent use in “Stranger Things” on Netflix.
