Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds announce huge UK show

It’s a homecoming gig not to be missed. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have today announced a massive 2026 UK exclusive headline show at Preston Park in Brighton. Taking place on Friday 31st July 2026, the show marks Cave’s return to the home of his heart, where he lived for over two decades. It’ll be their only UK show of the year.

“I am thrilled beyond words to return to my beloved Brighton with The Bad Seeds to play Preston Park. It’s a homecoming! It’s going to be big, bad and beautiful. An epic show!!!”

The fan presale begins Thursday 25 September. Visit nickcavebrighton.com to register for presale access. Tickets on general sale Friday 26 September.

This follows the top 10 UK album Wild God, which was released last year to great acclaim and brought fans the sold out Wild God European Tour, one of the live experiences of 2024. Produced by Cave and Warren Ellis and mixed by David Fridmann, across ten tracks the band dance between convention and experimentation, taking left-turns and detours that heighten the rich imagery and emotion in Cave’s soul-stirring narratives.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds will perform a setlist which takes songs from all four decades of their storied career including Wild God.

Ahead of this epic event, the tour comes to Australia in early 2026.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday 26 September, visit nickcavebrighton.com
