The performances will accompany the release of their eighteenth studio album, Wild God, which will be released on August 30. They will play songs from this album along with classics from their extensive catalogue, which includes songs like Red Right Hand, Into My Arms or Where the Wild Roses Grow.
“I never think about what a live album is going to be like, it never, ever occurs to me. The lyric writing process is too hard to consider ideas like that, but now that I’m listening to Wild God, I think we can do something.” epic with these songs live. We are very excited about it: the album seems made for the stage,” Nick Cave himself emphasizes in the statement.
With The Murder Capital as a guest artist on the three peninsular dates, this tour by what is considered one of the best live bands in the world will consist of 27 concerts in 17 European countries. It will begin on September 24 in Oberhausen (Germany) and will end on November 17 in Paris (France).
The Bad Seeds (Warren Ellis, Thomas Wydler, Martyn Casey, Jim Sclavunos and George Vjestica) will be accompanied as opening acts by three special guests depending on each city: Dry Cleaning, The Murder Capital and Black Country, New Road.
The talented Australian artist living in the United Kingdom has suffered in recent years the blow of the death of two of his children: in 2015 Arthur – whose mother is Cave’s current partner, the British designer Susie Bick – died at the age of 15 at accidentally falling off a cliff in Brighton (England) after taking LSD. In 2022 Cave announced that his son Jethro Lazenby had died at the age of 31, without detailing the causes of death.
