See band perform “Wild God” in Paris ahead of live album’s Dec. 5 release
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds will document their recent arena tour in support of their latest LP, Wild God, with a live album titled Live God.
The 2LP or 2CD set, due out December 5, features performances of tracks off 2024’s Wild God like “Joy,” “Frogs,” and “Cinnamon Horses” alongside Cave classics like “Red Right Hand,” “Into My Arms,” and “O Children.”
Ahead of Live God’s release, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds — augmented by Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood on bass for this tour — have shared the first single, a rapturous rendition of Wild God’s title track recorded at a Paris concert.
Live God is available to preorder now; the CD and digital versions of the live album boast three tracks, “Long Dark Night,” “White Elephant,” and “O Wow O Wow (How Wonderful She is).”
When the Wild God Tour touched down in Brooklyn this past April, Rolling Stone wrote of the gig, “Cave proved to a U.S. audience what Europe has known for decades: that he — rock’s gothic poet laureate, master of emotional intimacy, and, as a side hustle, introspective advice columnist — is indeed an arena rocker. He’s attempted that feat in the States before, staging a brilliant and occasionally heartrending concert at the same venue in 2018 while promoting his excellent open wound of an album, Skeleton Tree, but something about Thursday’s concert felt different: a sense of joy.”
Cave’s tour in support of Wild God will continue into 2026 with dates booked in Cave’s native Australia in January before the band heads back to Europe for another leg that kicks off June 10 in Dublin, Ireland. The trek is currently set to conclude on Aug. 28 in Paris.
