Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds perform a special homecoming concert in Brighton at Preston Park, featuring current and former band members.
It is not often that a homecoming feels quite as significant as the one Nick Cave has planned for this summer. On Friday, 31 July 2026, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will be performing at Preston Park in Brighton. This show stands out as the band's only UK date for the year, bringing the artist back to the city where he lived for over two decades. It is a specific kind of return, and the setting in Preston Park will host what is being described as a performance featuring both current and former members of The Bad Seeds.

The concert follows the release of the 2024 album Wild God, and the setlist is expected to draw from that material alongside established tracks like "Red Right Hand," "The Mercy Seat," and "Into My Arms." For those planning to attend, the gates at Preston Park are scheduled to open at 13:00. It is worth noting that the event has a recommended minimum age of 14, and anyone under 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult.
If you are looking at tickets, general admission starts at £47.50, plus booking fees. The ticketing process is split into two phases: a fan presale beginning on 25 September at 10:00, followed by the general sale on 26 September at 10:00. This Brighton date is part of a wider European tour for 2026 that includes stops in Ireland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and France, among others. Given the scale of the tour and the specific nature of this Brighton show, it serves as a central point in their current schedule.
