Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are set to embark on The Wild God Tour in January and February 2026, marking their first performances in Australia and New Zealand since 2017, with stops in major cities including Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Wellington.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale on August 29th at 10am AEST through the band's official website, with the tour promising a grand, emotional, and memorable experience.

The tour is presented by Supersonic Australasia and follows successful recent shows, with fans especially excited for the three-night Melbourne stand and Sydney concerts.

The tour will feature a two-and-a-half-hour setlist that includes songs from their latest critically acclaimed album 'Wild God', as well as classics from their four-decade career, such as 'Into My Arms' and 'Red Right Hand'.

Nick Cave has expressed his deep emotional connection to performing in Australia, describing it as a 'spiritual homecoming' and emphasizing the significance of returning to his hometown Melbourne and performing in Australia again.

The band’s recent international tour across the UK, Europe, and North America has been highly praised, with their live performances regarded as some of the most exhilarating globally.

The upcoming shows will feature a mix of new material from 'Wild God'—which has received critical acclaim and awards nominations—and their classic hits, ensuring a powerful and diverse concert experience.

Nick Cave recently released an AI music video for 'Tupelo' to mark 40 years of The Bad Seeds, despite previously criticizing AI technology as 'unbelievably disturbing', highlighting his complex relationship with innovation.

The 'Wild God' album, produced by Warren Ellis and mixed by David Fridmann, debuted at No. 5 in the UK and No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart, earning Grammy nominations and critical praise worldwide.

Cave's performances are known for their emotional intensity, with a notable last show in Perth in 2022 and upcoming performances in Wellington at the TSB Arena during the Aotearoa Festival of the Arts.

The tour is a continuation of Cave’s extensive career, which began in Melbourne in the 1980s, and includes influential albums like 'From Her to Eternity', 'Skeleton Tree', and 'Ghosteen'.

Nick Cave's ongoing recognition includes receiving the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres from France in 2024, and maintaining a strong presence in Australia through solo and collaborative performances.
