Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have unveiled plans for an extensive North American tour in 2025, marking their first return to the continent in several years. The tour, dubbed ‘The Wild God Tour,’ is set to commence on April 15, 2025, at the Agganis Arena in Boston, MA, with special guest St. Vincent. The band will perform in major cities including New York, Detroit, Washington D.C., Toronto, and Montreal. Tickets are available for purchase through the official Nick Cave website.
This tour follows the release of their critically acclaimed eighteenth studio album, ‘Wild God,’ which debuted on August 30, 2024. The album has been lauded for its orchestral and gospel-inspired compositions, reflecting themes of hope and redemption. Critics have noted a significant evolution in Cave’s songwriting, attributing this shift to his personal experiences with grief and loss.
In recognition of their artistic achievements, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have been nominated for the Best Alternative Music Album at the upcoming 2025 Grammy Awards. The ceremony is scheduled to be broadcast live on February 2, 2025, from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena.
Beyond music, Nick Cave has ventured into the visual arts with his exhibition ‘The Devil: A Life’ at the Museum Voorlinden in the Netherlands. The collection features 17 Staffordshire-style flatback ceramics that narrate the story of the Devil’s life, exploring themes of redemption and forgiveness. This artistic endeavor marks a return to Cave’s early passion for visual art, which he revisited during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cave’s recent works, both musical and artistic, have been profoundly influenced by personal tragedies, including the loss of his sons Arthur and Jethro. These experiences have led to a transformation in his perspective on life and creativity, fostering a deeper connection with his audience. He has emphasized the importance of openness and empathy, both in his art and personal interactions.
As anticipation builds for ‘The Wild God Tour,’ fans can look forward to experiencing the profound depth and evolution of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ artistry, which continues to resonate deeply with audiences worldwide.
