Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds announce 2020 UK and European tour

This is going to be special.

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.”

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.”
