Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have announced tour dates for the next UK and European tour. Set to unfold this autumn, the news of this series of live dates comes on the heels of the announcement about their forthcoming new album, Wild God, poised for release this summer.
The Wild God Tour kicks off on September 24 in Oberhausen, Germany, at the Rudolf Weber ARENA, marking the beginning of a journey through the heart of Europe, culminating in a grand finale at the Accor Arena in Paris, France, on November 17. The band will perform in six cities across the UK, including Leeds, Glasgow, Manchester, Cardiff, London, Dublin, and Birmingham.
Nick Cave has shared his excitement about bringing the new album to life on stage: “I never think about how a record is going to go live, it never, ever occurs to me. The lyric writing process is way too hard to take ideas like that into consideration. But, when I listen to ‘Wild God’ now, I think we can really do something epic with these songs live. We’re really excited about that – the record just feels like it was made for the stage.”
Reflecting on the transformative power of Wild God, Cave shares, “It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It’s a complicated record, but it’s also deeply and joyously infectious… Listening to this, I don’t know, it seems we’re happy.”
As for the live translation of Wild God on stage, Cave adds: “I never think about how a record is going to go live… But, when I listen to ‘Wild God’ now, I think we can really do something epic with these songs live. We’re really excited about that – the record just feels like it was made for the stage.”
Tickets for the tour will be available from March 22 at 10 am local time. The band will be supported on various dates by Dry Cleaning, The Murder Capital, and Black Country, New Road.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds will release their upcoming album, Wild God, on August 30th via Bad Seed/Play It Again Sam. The album was recorded at Miraval Studios in Provence and Soundtree Studios in London. This marks Cave’s 18th collaboration with the Bad Seeds and follows the critically acclaimed Ghosteen from 2019. Wild God is a collaborative production effort between Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, with David Fridmann handling the mixing. The album features contributions from Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood on bass and Luis Almau on guitar.
