NICK Cave has announced an on-stage conversation event in Dublin, the day before the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ sold out show at the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham on June 6.
The idea was inspired by the band’s 2017 world tour and Cave’s evolving relationship with his audience.
These shows became vast communal events and it is this relationship that he hopes to explore directly through this series of conversations.
“The more frank and intimate the questions, the more interesting the evening will be,” he suggests.
“The audience can ask me anything and I’ll do my best to answer. I do have some things to say. I can always play some songs at the piano if it all goes horribly wrong. But, I don’t know, I’ve got a good feeling about this one.”
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds play the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, Dublin on June 6.
This, their first Irish headline gig since 2008, sold out in less than an hour when announced.
Patti Smith, along with her band, is a special guest at the show and more support will come from Limerick three piece When Young.
