Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will play 3Arena in April on Friday 23 and Saturday 24, next year.

The band will be touring in support of their acclaimed 2019 album Ghosteen. They were previously forced to postpone their upcoming shows due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Now, they’ve revealed that they’ll be hitting the road once again next year in April through to June. All original tickets remain valid, with additional tickets on sale from 10am on Friday April 10 here. Full dates can be found here.

The news comes after Cave promised fans that the shows were set to be “fucking mind-blowing”, as he contemplated life in lockdown.

“Together we have stepped into history and are now living inside an event unprecedented in our lifetime,” he wrote. “Every day the news provides us with dizzying information that a few weeks before would have been unthinkable.”

He added: “Slowly, we all are coming around to the realisation that we will need to lead very different lives for a while — short term, long term, who knows?”
