Nick Cave

[White Bear]

Would be very surprised if it's just for the DVD, with the date already being released for that coming out would make no sense not having that on it? 

The other thing that makes me think it's definitely a tour is the posters are right outside the Hydro, in between a bunch of Mogwai posters for their Hydro show.

So looks to me like a stadium tour, the Bad Seeds in the Hydro will be class.

The Bad Seeds at Leeds Arena would be so good I'm SO POOR.

Just saw him in Melbourne.  Wonderful stuff. Seems to be in a really good space.

Has added a new verse to Stagger Lee!

Posters match existing tour posters too so likely.

And arena tour? Ballsy but why not? He's arguably at a commercial peak since Murder Ballads.

Hydro, Leeds Arena, Cardiff Arena, two nights at the RAH. Sounds good to me.

God I'd hate an arena tour. Cave in Wembley or the O2? Fuck no. And especially not for Skeleton Tree.

I don't consider the RAH to be an arena mind but I also hope it's not there as standing space is so limited. They're playing some belters so would want to be down the front and getting standing for RAH is a challenge.

Brixton please. Or possibly Hammersmith.

Correct, obviously not that new...I haven't seen him for a while.

Two nights at Brixton could work or two at Hammersmith. But the Hydro and Leeds Arena are pretty intimate venues as arenas go and can be downscaled. If he is supposedly at the Hydro, Leeds makes the most sense out of every other arena in the country.

Kinda wish it is, because otherwise the likely venue in the north is Manchester Apollo - and whilst I've seen some top shows there, I'm really not a fan. (Which is weird since I adore Hammersmith Apollo.)

Excellent. Sorry to be a pain, but can we get a link for that?

September/October suits me superbly right now.

And every news site has the same text saying that Nick Cave is coming in September which here it means only one thing and that it's from organizers. Really, literally the every concert announcement is the same on every site

Excellent news.

If it is arenas, bring him to the First Direct.

If it's not, bring him to Sheffield City Hall.

 

Happy days!

Onsale this week or next? What are we thinking?

Excellent sleuthing. Praying for a Bristol date, Colston hall would be perfect . 

[mungo57]

looking forward to going to this gig. Been itching to see him since '13 at Glasto. Couldn't get a ticket to the tour after that so been waiting ever since.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Hoping it's September or late October as I'm away 1st to 11th October. A date during that timeframe would be gutting.

Wandered a bit around the internet and saw a few more "SOON" posters or facebook pics from promoters from Slovenia, Greece and Belgium. I guess it's getting announced any day now

They call you the Nicklord for a reason.

Saw a mention on the EOTR boards that he's doing Nottingham Motorpoint so that's probably the plan. First Direct Arena will be ace but it's shit for all the other cities - might do Alex Palex instead in that London as some bands tend to.

Wait, y'what? That the boards on here?

 

Big news if so for me!

The MEN have tweeted the poster so presumably no Leeds Arena. Rubbish.

Fuck off Matt

The venue formerly known as the MEN. 

Nottingham also just confirmed. Bugger there be no Leeds - but I've seen some top shows at the MEN and if there's one artist who can transcend the sound limitations, it'll be Nick Cave surely! 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Fucking hell just announce it already. At least give us the month. It's not like they need to build hype.
