Developments: 7. The Wild God Tour’s European leg continued strong through early August 2026. After a surprise rooftop set in Brighton on 31 July, the band headlined a sold‑out home‑coming at Preston Park with Kylie Minogue joining for “Where the Wild Roses Grow”. The following week saw two consecutive sold‑out shows on 4‑5 August at the Roman arena in Pula, Croatia, where the setlist mixed new‑album material with classics such as “Red Right Hand” and “The Mercy Seat”. Band members included Warren Ellis, Colin Greenwood, Jim Sclavunos, George Vjestica, Larry Mullins and Carly Paradis. After the concerts Cave dined with his brother alongside Croatian guests Jelena Perčin and Ante Gelo. On 7 August the group performed at Belgrade’s Kalemegdan fortress, drawing nearly 10,000 fans. The two‑hour‑forty‑minute show opened with “Get Ready for Love”, featured “From Her to Eternity” and “Red Right Hand”, and included a memorable moment when Cave descended into the crowd and was lifted by fans. The tour then moved to Romania for a three‑day festival in Buftea (7‑9 August). Headlining the event, Cave shared the bill with more than 20 artists—including Two Feet, Charlotte Cardin, Nation of Language and others—across three stages, complemented by visual installations and a 1970s‑underground‑aesthetic zone. The leg, which began in June at Malahide Castle, Ireland, continues to sell out venues and attract large audiences across the region. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-07: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds electrify Belgrade crowd at Kalemegdan Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds performed to nearly 10,000 fans at Belgrade’s Kalemegdan, famously descending into the crowd and being lifted on fans’ hands. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-electrify-belgrade-crowd-at-kalemegdan ### 2026-08-07: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds headline major music festival in Buftea, Romania Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds headline a three‑day, 20‑artist festival in Buftea (7‑9 Aug), with visual installations and 70s‑style themed zones. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-headline-major-music-festival-in-buftea-romania ### 2026-08-06: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds sell out two shows at Pula's Roman Arena Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds sold out two concerts on 4‑5 Aug 2026 at Pula’s Roman arena, part of The Wild God Tour, featuring new and classic songs; Cave later dined with his brother. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-sell-out-two-shows-at-pulas-roman-arena ### 2026-08-03: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds add second concert in Pula, Croatia Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds added a second 4‑5 August 2026 concert at Pula’s Roman arena in Croatia after strong ticket demand, featuring Warren Ellis and Colin Greenwood as part of the Wild God tour. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-sell-out-two-concerts-at-pula-arena-in-august-2026 ### 2026-08-02: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds draw 50,000 fans to Brighton's Preston Park Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds played to nearly 50,000 fans at Brighton's Preston Park on 31 July 2026, featuring Kylie Minogue and coinciding with Pride weekend. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-draw-50000-fans-to-brightons-preston-park ### 2026-07-31: Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds stage surprise rooftop show in Brighton before Preston Park concert Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds performed a surprise rooftop gig in Brighton on 31 July 2026, then headlined a Preston Park concert where Kylie Minogue joined for “Where the Wild Roses Grow”. 13 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-surprise-rooftop-gig-in-brighton-ahead-of-preston-park-concert ### 2026-07-31: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds to perform in Belgrade's Kalemegdan on Aug 7 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will play a two‑hour concert on 7 August at Belgrade's Kalemegdan, part of their European Wild God Tour, with thousands expected and strict security rules. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nick-cave-the-bad-seeds-to-perform-in-belgrades-kalemegdan-on-aug-7 --- Cite as: Nick Cave Bad Seeds 2026 European Tour.
