NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS – LIVE GOD

 

THE TRANSCENDENT LIVE ALBUM FROM THE WILD GOD TOUR

 

 

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds announce their new live album Live God, the stunning testament to The Wild God Tour, which wowed audiences across the UK, Europe and North America in 2024 and ‘25. Across 15 live tracks, the album captures the wildly transcendent nature of those unforgettable shows, which were, in Nick Cave’s own words, “an antidote to despair.”

 

Due for release on 5th December, Live God is available to pre-order now on Premium Double Gatefold LP, Double CD and Digital. The first single ‘Wild God (Live God)’ is available to stream and download now HERE. Live God will be released on Bad Seed in partnership with Play It Again Sam.

 

The expansive tracklist includes performances of the entirety of the acclaimed 2024 studio album Wild God, as well as mind-blowing versions of catalogue favourites, such as ‘From Her To Eternity’, ‘Papa Won’t Leave You, Henry’ and ‘Into My Arms’.

 

For its final iteration, The Wild God Tour travels to Australia and New Zealand in February 2026. The band then return to Europe in summer 2026 for a monumental run of new outdoor headline shows and festival appearances, beginning on 10 June at Malahide Castle, Ireland, and touring through Germany, Denmark, Czech Republic, Austria, Greece, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, France, UK, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Norway and Lithuania. The run concludes back in France at Rock en Seine festival on 28 August – with further dates to be announced in between. On sale timings and ticket information is available at nickcave.com

 

The epic season of live dates includes the now sold out UK-exclusive headline show at Preston Park in Brighton on Friday 31 July. This show isn’t just a tour date, it’s a homecoming. Nick Cave’s connection to the city of Brighton is enduring and unique, making Preston Park 2026 a landmark moment in both the city’s and the band’s history.
