A representative for Kate Bush this morning is shooting down a widely publicized anecdote in The New Yorker that alleges the Coachella festival turned down a chance to host the stage-shy singer’s first-ever U.S. concert because “no one is going to understand it.”

The New Yorker today published a fascinating profile of Coachella mastermind Paul Tollett that gets into the nuts and bolts of how the massive festival is operated. No detail, though, seems to have caught as much attention as the allegation the festival turned down a chance to host the first-ever U.S. performance by Kate Bush.
