Joining the band at Preston Park, Brighton, for the sellout show are The Flaming Lips, English Teacher, Cate Le Bon & Warmduscher.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are set to play their only UK show this year at Preston Park, Brighton, and it has been billed as a homecoming show for the band. Nick Cave adopted Brighton over two decades ago, with the South Coast city playing an integral role in shaping the band’s music and tone.
The Preston Park show is taking place on Friday July 31st and promises to take songs from all four decades of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ fabled career, including their latest album ‘Wild God’, which was a UK top 10 album in 2024.
Joining Cave are GRAMMY Award-winners The Flaming Lips, Mercury Prize winners English Teacher and Warmduscher, well-known for their wild and electrically charged sets. Mercury Prize-nominated Cate Le Bon will provide a different perspective on the band-heavy line up with her singular, artist-led approach, which will also fit nicely with some of the more experimental side of The Bad Seeds’ work.
Speaking about the upcoming show in Brighton Nick Cave has said, “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!!!”
