**Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds** will bring their most celebrated live production to date – **THE** **WILD GOD TOUR** – to Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand in January and February 2026, in their first shows here since 2017.

These special events will be held in beautiful parks at iconic, cultural locations in Melbourne (Alexandra Gardens), Sydney (The Domain Sydney), Fremantle (Fremantle Park) and Brisbane (Victoria Park), allowing audiences to experience this transcendental production at scale, while retaining the intimacy that fans have come to expect from a Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds show.

Speaking about the announcement, Nick Cave said, *“I can’t wait to get to Australia and New Zealand with The Bad Seeds and to bring you our epic Wild God show. It’s been a long time coming, and I’ve missed both Australia and New Zealand very much. It will be a wild and mighty joy.”*

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds will perform a setlist drawn from their latest album Wild God, alongside songs spanning the four decades of their storied career, in this critically acclaimed two-and-a-half-hour show.

Renowned for their exhilarating and unforgettable performances, The Bad Seeds are widely regarded as one of the most thrilling live bands in the world. This reputation was solidified in 2024 and 2025 as media and fans alike were stunned by **The Wild God Tour** as it travelled through the UK, Europe and North America.

The album ‘Wild God’ was released in 2024 and celebrated by critics around the world. 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.
