Speaking about the announcement, Nick Cave said, “I can’t wait to get to Australia and New
Zealand with The Bad Seeds and to bring you our epic Wild God show. It’s been a long time
coming, and I’ve missed both Australia and New Zealand very much. It will be a wild and mighty
joy.”
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds will perform a setlist drawn from their latest album Wild God,
alongside songs spanning the four decades of their storied career, in this critically acclaimed two-
and-a-half-hour show.
Renowned for their exhilarating and unforgettable performances, The Bad Seeds are widely
regarded as one of the most thrilling live bands in the world. This reputation was solidified in
2024 and 2025 as media and fans alike were stunned by The Wild God Tour as it travelled
through the UK, Europe and North America.
The album ‘Wild God’ was released in 2024 and celebrated by critics around the world. Produced
by Cave and Warren Ellis, and mixed by David Fridmann, across ten tracks the band dance
between convention and experimentation, taking left-turns and detours that heighten the rich
imagery and emotion in Cave’s soul-stirring narratives.
