Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds is an Australian rock band formed in Melbourne in 1983 by singer-songwriter Nick Cave, initially from the ashes of post-punk group The Birthday Party. Over four decades and 18 studio albums - from the raw menace of 'From Her to Eternity' through to the arena-filling 'Wild God' (2024) - the band has built one of rock's most distinctive bodies of work, spanning post-punk, gothic rock and dark country. Cave's literary, often biblical lyrics and the band's cinematic intensity have earned them a devoted global following and a reputation as one of the most compelling live acts of their generation.
The live album 'Live God', recorded during the Wild God Tour across the UK, Europe and North America in 2024-2025, was released on 5 December 2025 via PIAS/Bad Seed.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds announced a major UK and Europe summer 2026 tour, running from June through August and covering over a dozen countries.
The band launched their first North American tour since 2018, kicking off in Boston on 15 April 2025 in support of 'Wild God'.
'Wild God', the band's 18th studio album, was released on 30 August 2024 via PIAS Recordings, debuting at No. 2 on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart and No. 5 in the UK.
Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood joined the touring lineup, filling in for longtime member Martyn Casey who stepped back due to illness.
