About Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

Formed in 1983 by Australian singer-songwriter and musician following his time with The Birthday Party, have become one of the most enduring and richly creative rock bands of the last four decades. Known for their darkly poetic lyrics, emotional depth and a fearless willingness to explore the boundaries of rock, blues, gothic and experimental music, the band’s live shows are frequently described as cathartic, transformative and deeply intense.

The Bad Seeds’ early albums such as From Her To Eternity (1984) and The First Born Are Dead (1985) established their brooding aesthetic, while the landmark 1990 album The Good Son featured a shift toward quieter, more melodic songwriting. Their 1994 release Let Love In produced the anthemic “Red Right Hand,” which became one of the band’s signature tracks and a staple in film and television sound-tracks. Over time, the Bad Seeds’ discography has spanned stylings from full-blown gothic rock to intimate piano-driven ballads and nearly orchestral arrangements, with albums such as Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus (2004) and Push the Sky Away (2013) drawing critical acclaim internationally.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ live performances are among their most celebrated features: passionate, unpredictable, and featuring moments of reflection, darkness and light. At a show such as their headline date on 10 June 2026 at Dublin’s historic , fans can expect a powerful blend of the band’s iconic anthems like “Red Right Hand,” “The Ship Song,” and “Into My Arms,” alongside selections from their more recent work. Cave’s commanding stage presence, combined with the Bad Seeds’ tight ensemble and atmospheric lighting and staging, makes each live show a singular event.

In addition to his work with the Bad Seeds, Nick Cave has released solo albums and worked on film scores, musical theatre, and literary projects. His collaboration with violinist & multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis has been a constant through the Bad Seeds’ evolution, and the pair have pushed the band into new sonic terrain, including ambient, electronic and chamber-music influenced pieces. This artistic growth has allowed the band to remain vital and relevant, attracting new audiences while maintaining long-time fans.
