Presented by CAPA and AEG, the group will perform on May 2 at the Palace Theatre in support of their recently released 18th studio album, "Wild God."

Prior to forming the Bad Seeds in 1983, Cave fronted the post-punk band The Birthday Party. He is considered a major influence on the goth genre and subculture, with his frequent themes of death, religion, love and violence.
He has achieved mainstream success with his quieter, piano-driven ballads, even those with tales of murder — most notably "Where the Wild Roses Grow," his 1996 duet with Kylie Minogue.

With a setlist spanning four decades, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds were called one of rock's "most enduring, redoubtable" bands by Pitchfork. The two-time Grammy nominees have won several awards in Cave's native Australia.
Individually, the 66-year-old Cave has received many awards and honors, including three honorary doctorate degrees and the Order of Australia, "for distinguished service to the performing arts as a musician, songwriter, author and actor, nationally and internationally, and as a major contributor to Australian music culture and heritage."
