Back to the full lineup

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds are one of the longest-standing and most influential forces in modern rock – a band whose intensity, storytelling and unmistakable sound have shaped the landscape of alternative music for over four decades. Their 2024 album Wild God reaffirmed Cave’s position as one of his generation’s most remarkable songwriters: the critically acclaimed record entered the Top 10 in several European countries. It launched a sold-out world tour widely regarded as one of the standout live experiences of the year.

In summer 2026, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds embark on a new large-scale European tour, appearing at major festivals and outdoor venues across the continent, culminating at Rock en Seine in Paris. This same tour finale will also reach Helsinki, where Flow Festival audiences will have the chance to experience the band at a pivotal moment of the 2026 season.

On stage, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are a singular force – a blend of controlled power and emotional volatility that has become their unmistakable signature. Cave and his longtime artistic collaborator, Warren Ellis, lead a lineup featuring Colin Greenwood, Jim Sclavunos, George Vjestica, Larry Mullins, and Carly Paradis. Over the years, the Bad Seeds’ live presence has evolved into its own aesthetic: raw, fierce and profoundly affecting in equal measure.
