Nick Cave announces UK arena tour
On the back of last year’s ‘Skeleton Tree’ record.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have announced a pretty-bloody-massive UK tour for later this year.
The run, in support of last year’s devastating ‘Skeleton Tree’ LP, begins in Bournemouth on 24th September, and ends the following weekend with a massive London show at the O2 Arena.
Talking about his return to playing live after the death of his son Arthur in 2015, Cave said: “We’ve been in a strange place, I’m coming out and blinking into the light… It’s good to be playing again.”
