The upcoming show serves as a UK-exclusive performance for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and comes in support of their acclaimed 2024 album âWild Godâ. It follows their gig at Dublinâs Malahide Castle last month.
Cave and his band are currently out in Europe, and played a set at Open’er 2026 last night (Thursday July 2). NME described the show as “a potted run-through of their impressive discography”, adding that “there was a giddy sense of chaos to the whole thing”.
The Bad Seeds’ forthcoming European festival appearances include NOS Alive, Mad Cool, Way Out West and Rock En Seine. Earlier this year, they headed out on the road in Australia and New Zealand.
During their recent Dublin concert, the band broke out a cover of The Poguesâ âRainy Night In Sohoâ.
In May, Cave revealed that the Bad Seeds were âmessing aroundâ in the studio with the âvague idea of making a new recordâ as the follow-up to âWild Godâ.
âThis morning, I am going to Islington to mess around in the studio,â he explained, saying that he would be in the studio with his bandmates Martyn P. Casey, Thomas Wydler, Jim Sclavunos and Warren Ellis.
Cave appears on Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Fleaâs 2026 debut solo album, âHonoraâ, alongside Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke. He also recorded a new version of âRed Right Handâ for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
Meanwhile, the singer-songwriter shared his blunt verdict on Russell Brandâs new Christianity conversion book in April.
