“The record feels like it was made for the stage”: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds announce 27-date The Wild God UK / Europe tour, with Dry Cleaning, The Murder Capital and Black Country, New Road in support

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds unveil first headline shows in the UK and Europe since 2017

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have announced their first headline tour of the UK and Europe since 2017.

Launching on September 24, in Oberhausen, Germany, the Wild God tour will take in 27 shows across 17 countries, wrapping on November 17 in Paris, France. The tour will follow in the wake of the release of the group’s 18th studio album, Wild God, on August 30.

“I never think about how a record is going to go live, it never, ever occurs to me,” says Cave. “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.”
