Nick Cave announces global live stream of ‘Wild God’ tour show
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds have unveiled details of a new live stream that will capture their concert in Paris at the Accor Arena last year.
The performance is titled Wild God – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Live In Paris and will allow his fans to relive their 2024 tour in support of their last studio album, Wild God, in full. Notably, it was the final night of Cave and The Bad Seeds’ jaunt around the United Kingdom and Europe.
The description for the live concert reads: “With Cave’s electrifying stage presence and a powerful band featuring Warren Ellis, George Vjestica, Colin Greenwood, Jim Sclavunos, Carly Paradis and Larry Mullins, plus a four-piece gospel-inspired vocal section (Wendi Rose, T Jae Cole, Miça Townsend and Janet Ramus), Nick Cave led a high-intensity, emotionally charged performance in front of 20,000 fans.”
Wild God – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Live In Paris will be available to watch everywhere in the world, apart from North America, on the ARTE Concert YouTube channel and ARTE.TV. North American fans will need to stay patient until July 1st to watch the performance.
One notable figure who witnessed Cave record his performance at the Accor Arena in Paris was Bob Dylan, who shared with his followers on X: “Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings ‘We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.’ I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.”
In response, Cave dedicated a whole edition of his Red Hand Files newsletter to celebrating Dylan’s positive review, writing, “I hadn’t known Bob was at the concert and his tweet was a lovely pulse of joy that penetrated my exhausted, zombied state.”
He continued: “I was happy to see Bob on X, just as many on the Left had performed a Twitterectomy and headed for Bluesky. It felt admirably perverse, in a Bob Dylan kind of way. I did indeed feel it was a time for joy rather than sorrow. There had been such an excess of despair and desperation around the election, and one couldn’t help but ask when it was that politics became everything.”
