The Brighton event—presented by JOY. Concerts—will see the legendary band joined by an eclectic and high-profile bill, including The Flaming Lips, English Teacher, Cate Le Bon and Warmduscher.

The performance marks the band’s only UK appearance of the year and carries added significance as a homecoming for frontman Nick Cave, who has longstanding ties to Brighton. Reflecting on the show, Cave described the upcoming performance as a deeply personal return, promising an “epic” night in a city that has played a central role in his life and work.

With a career spanning four decades, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are set to deliver a setlist drawing from across their extensive catalogue, including material from their 2024 album Wild God. The record—produced by Cave and longtime collaborator Warren Ellis—continues the band’s tradition of blending experimental textures with emotionally charged songwriting.

Renowned for their powerful and immersive live performances, the band have spent recent years reaffirming their status as one of the most compelling acts in contemporary music, with extensive touring across the UK, Europe, North America and Australia.

The Brighton show’s supporting lineup adds further weight to the occasion. The Flaming Lips bring their boundary-pushing psychedelic catalogue, while English Teacher represent a new wave of British guitar music. Cate Le Bon’s art-pop sensibilities and Warmduscher’s raw, kinetic energy round out a bill that reflects the diverse influences orbiting The Bad Seeds’ sound.

With demand already exceeding supply, the sold-out status of the event underscores both the enduring appeal of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and the significance of this one-off UK appearance. For fans, the Preston Park show promises to be a landmark moment in the band’s storied history.
