Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Announce North American Tour, First in Seven Years

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have announced their 2025 North American tour, marking their first set of performances in the region since 2018.

The Wild God Tour will begin on April 15 at Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts, and will travel to major cities such as Brooklyn, Chicago, Toronto, and San Francisco.

The tour supports the band’s latest album, Wild God, which debuted at No. 5 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart and No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Produced by Nick Cave and longtime collaborator Warren Ellis, Wild God features contributions from Luis Almau and Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood, who has also stepped in as the band’s touring bassist for their U.K. and European shows due to Martyn Casey stepping back for health reasons.

Discussing the band’s latest offering, Cave shared, “I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me. It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It’s a complicated record, but it’s also deeply and joyously infectious.”

“There is never a master plan when we make a record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don’t know, it seems we’re happy.”

Joining the tour as a special guest for select dates in Boston and Brooklyn will be St. Vincent. Her most recent album, All Born Screaming, debuted at 86 on the Billboard 200, continuing her streak of successful releases. Her 2021 album, Daddy’s Home, peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard 200.

Pre-sale tickets for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ 2025 North American tour will be available starting Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 10 a.m. local time, with general ticket sales opening on Friday, Sept. 13.
