Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds Reschedule Tour for 2021
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds are set to tour Europe next spring, having last month postponed their 2020 shows. Find the new dates below. All original tickets remain valid, according to a press release.
After the tour’s announcement, Cave mailed out his Red Hand Files newsletter, this week discussing Bob Dylan’s “perplexing but beautiful” new song “Murder Most Foul.” “At the heart of this seventeen-minute epic is a terrible event, the assassination of JFK — a dark vortex that threatens to pull everything into it, just as it did in the USA back in 1963,” Cave writes. “Whirling around the incident Dylan weaves a litany of loved things — music mostly — that reach into the darkness, in deliverance. As the song unfolds he throws down lifeline after lifeline, insistent and mantra-like, and we are lifted, at least momentarily, free of the event. Dylan’s relentless cascade of song references points to our potential as human beings to create beautiful things, even in the face of our own capacity for malevolence. ‘Murder Most Foul’ reminds us that all is not lost, as the song itself becomes a lifeline thrown into our current predicament.”
