With the Wild God tour wrapping up in Australia in early 2026, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will return to Brighton — a place very close to Cave’s heart. Having lived there for over 20 years, it’s exciting to see him perform in the seaside city, especially one that has influenced much of his songwriting over the years.
The setlist will include not just songs from his critically acclaimed album Wild God, but the songs performed will span across his entire career. A video announcing this special show was released on Youtube, projecting Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ images across iconic spots in Brighton, as well as lyrics linked to particular places (like the old pier). Special guests also appear on the line-up but, with those yet to be confirmed, it leaves us to ponder who exactly will join them on this momentous night.
Brighton residents have responded ecstatically to the announcement, and there is already plenty of buzz surrounding the concert, before tickets have even been released. It’s sure to be a night to remember, and an absolutely unmissable gig.
The fan presale begins Thursday, 25th September. Visit nickcavebrighton.com to register for presale access. Tickets on general sale Friday, 26th September.
