He's been playing that for a wee while now. Pretty sure he did it on the Red Hand Files tour, which was pre pando.

No as the Bad Seeds he hasn’t. It’s only been included on solo runs as far as I know…

Joy as an opening song could be quite a punch in the stomach. 

 

Really like the setlist. 

 

Although I hope they play The Ship song at the end, as originally intended on the setlist.

The Ship Song is my favourite Cave song... and pretty much the only one that didn't impact me when I saw him in Manchester a few years ago.

 

I'd love him to play it again, but I won't be devastated if he doesn't. Sad that I missed the '22 festival run and therefore There She Goes, My Beautiful World - honestly thought he'd retain that over O Children.

O Children is one of his biggest streamed songs, that's gonna remain a setlist staple.

On the plus side, only 1 from Ghosteen

Hope he never drops Bright Horses though. Was my highlight when I saw him in 2022.

I like Bright Horses, I should say! But I could happily swap it for Galleon Ship or Night Raid in a pinch.

I'd be amazed if he kept it in the set just because of that!

I don't think he really used to play it before it was in Harry Potter.

[NorthernSoul52]

He didn't play it at all really after Potter though. Was a fixture on The Abattoir Blues Tour, then was resurrected for a spot of promo shows behind Push the Sky Away - and then didn't rock up until the '22 run.
