Cave expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming performances, stating, “I cannot wait to bring this special show to Australia next year, accompanied by the great Colin Greenwood. It is a privilege to share the songs with an audience in this way – stripped back and unadorned, revealing their essential nature.”

Nick Cave’s last Australian tour in late 2022 featured Warren Ellis and showcased their 2021 album ‘Carnage’ alongside classics from the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds repertoire. The Sydney Opera House performances from that tour were captured for the recently released live album, ‘Australian Carnage – Live At The Sydney Opera House,’ available on 8-track vinyl and an extended streaming version.

Renowned as the lead singer and songwriter of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Cave’s artistic journey spans over 40 years, embracing various forms of expression. From his solo and collaborative music endeavors to composing scores, writing books and film scripts, and exploring ceramic artistry, Cave’s influence continues to shape diverse creative landscapes.

Don’t miss the opportunity to witness this rare musical experience as Nick Cave and Colin Greenwood take the stage, presenting Cave’s timeless classics in an intimate and unadorned setting.

Tickets for these exclusive shows will be available starting Wednesday, 13 December at 10 am AEDT,  through nickcave.com.
