Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds have added an extensive run of outdoor shows throughout Europe for next summer.
Cave had previously announced plans to perform a special show at Preston Park in Brighton, which was his hometown for many years, on July 31st. Now, he’s announced a catalogue of similar outdoor concerts and festival appearances.
The run of shows will begin at Malahide Castle in Dublin on June 1st, before making trips to Germany, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Austria, Greece, Italy, and Belgium later that month.
In July, the Bad Seeds will be returning to Germany, performing at NOS Alive in Portugal, as well as three shows in France, including Festival de Nîmes, before closing the month in Brighton for his homecoming that is already sold-out.
Upon announcing the Brighton show, Cave said: “I am thrilled beyond words to return to my beloved Brighton with The Bad Seeds to play Preston Park. It’s a homecoming! It’s going to be big, bad and beautiful. An epic show!!!”
The final leg of Cave’s summer European tour will commence in August with visits to Croatia, Germany, Romania, Norway, Germany, and conclude at Rock En Seine in Paris on August 28th. Cave is the latest name to be announced for Rock En Seine after it was previously confirmed that The Cure would headline.
Cave has also confirmed that Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood will remain as part of the Bad Seeds for the forthcoming shows, along with Warren Ellis, Jim Sclavunos, George Vjestica, Larry Mullins, and Carly Paradis.
Before beginning their summer adventure in the UK and Europe, Cave will head to his native Australia, as well as New Zealand, with the Bad Seeds for the first time since 2017 at the start of 2026.
The current tour is in support of their latest album, Wild God. In a glowing review of the album, Far Out wrote: “All told, the record is largely a unique and powerful triumph. It boldly reaches for the heavens and often grabs the odd walloping fistful.”
