In Brisbane, the show has relocated to a larger venue due to extraordinary demand.

With just two months until Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds return to Australia and New Zealand, limited tickets have been made available in multiple cities, and a venue upgrade has been announced in another.
Limited grandstand reserve seating is now available at the rear of shows in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth. Due to its limited capacity, the grandstand seating will be allocated via a ballot open to both existing and new ticket buyers. Unreserved seating will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis at the outdoor shows.
To register your interest in securing a reserved grandstand ticket, existing ticketholders must sign up here, and new ticket purchasers must sign up here. The ballot closes at midnight local time on Wednesday, 12 November.
Successful entrants will be notified by midday AEDT on Thursday, 13 November, and will be sent a link that’s valid until midnight local time on Friday to purchase the seat. New seated tickets will incur an additional charge of $20 to cover the costs of grandstand construction.
In addition to the new ticket release, Brisbane punters will have their show relocated from Victoria Park to the RNA Showgrounds, due to extraordinary demand.
Unreserved grandstand seating in Brisbane will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on the evening of the concert. Tickets are available on the Nick Cave website.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will tour across Australia and New Zealand in January and February 2026. Their first shows in the region since 2017, the beloved band are touring in support of their latest album, Wild God.
Upon the tour announcement in August, Nick Cave said, “I can’t wait to get to Australia and New Zealand with The Bad Seeds and to bring you our epic Wild God show. It’s been a long time coming, and I’ve missed both Australia and New Zealand very much. It will be a wild and mighty joy.”
