Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds<\/a> are coming home.<\/p>\n

The legendary, ARIA Hall of Fame-inducted artist and his band will play greenspaces and arenas on The Wild God Tour of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand early next year \u2014 first shows in these parts since 2017.<\/p>\n

Cave and co. will stop by outdoor cultural locations next January and February in Melbourne (Alexandra Gardens), Sydney (The Domain Sydney), Fremantle (Fremantle Park) and Brisbane (Victoria Park), plus a one-off show at Adelaide Entertainment Centre.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the Tasman, the alternative rockers will play two dates at Wellington\u2019s TSB Arena, in association with Aotearoa New Zealand Festival of the Arts 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get to Australia and New Zealand with The Bad Seeds and to bring you our epic Wild God show,\u201d Cave remarks in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming, and I\u2019ve missed both Australia and New Zealand very much. It will be a wild and mighty joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Presented by Supersonic Australasia, the tour will be a spectacle of \u201ctranscendental production at scale, while retaining the intimacy\u201d that the \u201cRed Right Hand\u201d singer and his group are renowned for.<\/p>\n

The two-and-a-half-hour show will feature songs from Wild God<\/a>, along with works \u201cspanning the four decades of their storied career,\u201d the statement continues.<\/p>\n

The forthcoming tour is in support of the band\u2019s 18th studio album Wild God, their first through a new worldwide licensing deal\u00a0with PIAS<\/a>. Following its release in September 2024, the collection debuted at No. 5 on the Official UK Albums Chart<\/a> and No. 2 on the ARIA Chart.<\/p>\n

Since then, the alternative rockers have unleashed those tracks and many more to audiences across North America, the UK and Europe.<\/p>\n

When Cave visited France this July, he was presented with the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, one of the highest orders of merit awarded by the French Ministry of Culture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though based in the UK, Cave makes regular visits to his homeland. He returned to Australia in April 2024 for a run of solo shows, accompanied by Radiohead\u2019s Colin Greenwood on bass guitar. And before that, Cave and his Bad Seeds\/Dirty Three collaborator Warren Ellis\u2019 brought Carnage\u00a0to venues across the country in late 2022.<\/p>\n

The Nick Cave story continues to grow, abroad and at home. When the\u00a0Hottest 100 of Australian Songs<\/a> counted down, Cave\u2019s works with The Bad Seeds \u201cInto My Arms\u201d (from 1997) appeared at No. 44 and \u201cRed Right Hand\u201d (from 1994) came in at No. 98.<\/p>\n

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds were nominated for the Global Award and Wild God was shortlisted for Best LP\/EP at the 2025 Rolling Stone Australia Awards<\/a>. The album was also shortlisted for Alternative Rock Record at the 2025 Libera Awards, the US independent music community\u2019s annual ceremony.<\/p>\n
