Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, etc.

Yes. Thank you!

A solo tour, no less...

Nick's description of touring might change your mind about being a professional musician...

Got my ticket for the Cleveland show. Was able to snag front row, but it the ticket buying process wasn't smooth by any stretch. My specific artist presale code that was texted and emailed never worked for me. On a whim I plugged in the word "SOLO" and got in. The artist presale sold out in under five minutes. Must've not had many tickets allocated for that group at all. (I can't imagine there are that many Nick Cave fans in Northeast Ohio, especially when he's also playing Detroit on this same tour.) They now seem to have added a third presale code ("CAVE") that looks like it's the entire remaining seats of the venue. If someone slept on this and logs in Friday morning for the general sale, they are going to be disappointed at the available selection.

Ticket buying has become a game, a sport, and a setup for disappointment. It's not for the faint of heart, and it's not for the poor.

Oooof. Not a good look. Disappointing.

Just listened to a Bad Seeds show from Stockholm a few weeks ago. It was stunning! Really good mix of new stuff & older stuff. A solid 2 hour show. The band is sounding really locked in. Have to wait for May for my show. D'oh!
