This series of shows follows on from the success of Wild God (2024), a critically acclaimed Top 10 album in several European countries, which led to the European tour of the same name – one of the most remarkable live experiences of 2024. The line-up for the 2026 concerts will include songs from all stages of the band’s career, from the early classics to the latest Wild God.

Recognised worldwide for their intense and unforgettable performances, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds further cemented their reputation in 2024 and 2025 with the “Wild God Tour”, which toured the UK, Europe and North America.

NOS Alive returns to its usual home on July 9, 10 and 11, 2026, raising the bar even higher in terms of the line-up and structures for welcoming the best audience. Always!
