The band announced the first round of dates for their upcoming tour earlier this month, after being forced to cancel a 2021 tour of Europe and the UK due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ original 2021 European tour dates were set to be focused around the band’s 2019 album ‘Ghosteen’.

During the coronavirus pandemic, though, Cave and bandmate Warren Ellis teamed up to write and record the surprise album ‘Carnage’, which arrived in February.

In a five-star review of the album, NME said the record beckoned listeners to “take an adventurous leap into the COVID era’s dark night of the soul”.

“‘Carnage’ is arguably Cave and Ellis’ best record since The Bad Seeds’ latter day reinvention on 2013’s ‘Push The Sky Away’, or maybe even ‘Abattoir Blues’. It’s certainly two master craftsmen at the peak of their melodramatic powers.”

Elsewhere, Cave recently spoke out on whether it is possible to “separate the art from the artist” in a new post to fans on his Red Hand Files website.
