Nick Cave

[Pinhead]

He made it to Kylie then. Half expecting Donovan to make Especially as well. Shame Chris Martin has to turn up again. He's fast becoming the official Glastonbury house band now.

Wouldn't say it's a shame really, she asked him to. Plus he didn't hog limelight - it was still Kylie's moment.

He might play next year but him appearing with Kylie is nowt to do with that. Nick and Kylie guest with each other for their own thing.

New double album announced. Out next week

[zahidf]

When can we expect a new album?

JOE, BEXHILL-ON-SEA, UK

Dear Joe,

You can expect a new album next week.

It is called Ghosteen.

It is a double album.

Part 1 comprises of eight songs.

The Spinning Song
Bright Horses
Waiting For You
Night Raid
Sun Forest
Galleon Ship
Ghosteen Speaks
Leviathan

Part 2 consists of two long songs, linked by a spoken word piece.

Ghosteen
Fireflies
Hollywood

The songs on the first album are the children.

The songs on the second album are their parents.

Ghosteen is a migrating spirit.

Love, Nick

Just seen this on Red Hand Files - what a classy way to announce it.

So... tour, do we think? Glastonbury has to be looming large as a possibility...

[Guy Incognito]

Other Stage headliner please

[Amy Lawn]

Get him on before Taylor, then somebody for the youngs in-between him and the legend. Who do they like these days? Dua Lipa is it? Dave?

[kingcrawler]

I did notice they had a new website and were advertising their mailing list but I didn't think we'd get anything this soon! As entertaining as them subbing Taylor Swift would be, I'd rather wait for their triumphant headline slot in 2021. The album cover is just a bit different to Skelekton Tree  

[Gilgamesh69]

Can't wait to see him on the Pyramid Stage... subbing The 1975 ?

[majormajormajor]

The album cover is fucking epic. 

[JoeyT]

This is great for the fact we're getting new Nick Cave and also it might tempt @russycarps back to post on the forum...

[jackarmy]

Surely got to be a very good chance of him appearing in his usual Pyramid sub slot given this news.

That would be my guess. They always nail it in that slot, so I'm happy with the prospect.

This does somewhat ramp up the ticket-buying pressure, though...

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds ain't subbing anything in 2020. They got huge with the last album, the'll only get bigger with the new one.

Unless the public appetite for lengthy concept pieces linked by spoken word isn't enormous.

'Part 2 consists of two long songs, linked by a spoken word piece.'

I think I will wait until I hear the album before I think they will get bigger after releasing it! Could be a challenging one.

I would lose my mind even if the first one happened.

[Gilgamesh69]

Get them on the truth stage at 2am.

 

Have Grinderman ever played Glasto?
