Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds are set to embark on a tour across the U.K. and Europe later this year, showcasing their latest album, “Wild God,” the band’s 18th studio release.
Continental European Jaunt:
The alternative rock ensemble will launch their Continental European tour on September 24 at Rudolf Weber-Arena in Oberhausen, Germany.
The tour will span several months, with a lineup of U.K. dates scheduled for November. The final show is slated for November 17 at Accor Arena in Paris, France.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds will use their previously announced tour of Australia in April and May as a springboard for their northern hemisphere run.
The anticipation is high as Cave expresses excitement about performing the songs from “Wild God” live, describing the record as made for the stage.
“Wild God” Album Release:
“Wild God” will be released on August 30 via Cave’s own label, Bad Seed, under a new worldwide licensing agreement with Play It Again Sam, a subsidiary of the independent [PIAS] label group.
Cave emphasizes the album’s raw energy and emotional depth, indicating that it hits hard and resonates deeply.
The current lineup of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds includes Thomas Wydler, Martyn Casey, Jim Sclavunos, George Vjestica, and longtime collaborator Warren Ellis, who also produces “Wild God.”
The album features contributions from Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood on bass and Luis Almau on guitars.
Musical Journey and Creative Direction:
“Wild God” continues Cave’s musical journey, following the critically acclaimed “Ghosteen” in 2019.
The album was recorded at Miraval Studios in Provence, France, and Soundtree Studios in London, England. It captures Cave’s introspective exploration of grief and healing following personal tragedy.
