In support of their hugely acclaimed new album ‘Ghosteen‘, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have announced details of a UK and European tour for 2020.

The band’s surprise new double album was released last month, and hailed by NME as a collection of “the most painful songs Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have ever recorded, but they’re also the most beautiful”, adding that “it is a work of extraordinary, unsettling scope.”


Having spent much of the last year on his solo Conversations With Nick Cave tour, where he answered questions from fans in the audience as well as playing songs from throughout his career on piano, Cave has now announced a full band tour throughout Europe with the Bad Seeds next year.

Among the European dates, The Bad Seeds will visit Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester, Dublin and Leeds before headlining two nights at The O2 in London.

Reviewing Cave’s Conversations tour earlier this year, NME wrote: “After the experience of tonight, the pedestal has been kicked over. Strip away the rockstar and all you’re left with is a man, his loves, his traumas, and his soul. An artist of his stature doesn’t have to open himself up like this, but we should feel so lucky that he is. Here’s hoping that others do the same.”
