Back in the fall, Nashvillians got a very special audience with Nick Cave. The Australia-born, U.K.-residing philosopher of dark post-punk brought his Conversations With Nick Cave tour to TPAC, breaking the fourth wall and taking questions from the crowd between solo piano performances. It was intimate, special and risky — a gamble that paid off.

But Cave is also an incredible bandleader, as anyone who caught his 2013 show at the Ryman can attest. He's got The Bad Seeds to work with, and they're one of the most adventurous and powerful rock bands going. This fall, Music City fans will get a chance to catch up with Cave and band when their North American tour stops in at the Grand Ole Opry House on Sunday, Oct. 4. Prices haven't been announced, but tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 21, right here.

Cave's 2019 visit to Nashville coincided with the release of his latest album with The Bad Seeds, the elegiac Ghosteen, and he included some of that material in the set. At the Opry House, you'll hear how the full band engages with it. Below, check out Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' 2017 performance of "Stagger Lee."

*Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly indicated that Weyes Blood would open this show. That is not the case — no opener has yet been announced. Weyes Blood will, however, play The Basement East on Aug. 14.
