The performance began with N. Cave energetically playing “Get Ready for Love.” As soon as the first chords sounded, the artist demonstrated what he is famous for worldwide: he immediately descended from the stage, straight into the hands of the fans.
Despite turning 69 in September, on stage he showed enviable energy and did not lack a sense of humor.
After the first song, N. Cave humorously addressed the audience.
“Damn, it’s raining. It’s slippery here. If I break my leg – it will be your fault,” he joked.
The gathered audience greeted this statement with loud laughter and shouts of agreement.
Fans were in for a truly long and enjoyable evening – the concert was scheduled for a full two and a half hours from 9:00 PM to 11:30 PM.

Four decades of creativity and undiminished energy
“Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds” concerts worldwide are known for their strong energy. The artist traveling through the audience’s hands, the sound jumps from whisper to scream, moments when it seems the stage becomes a place of sacred ceremony – all these are reasons why Nick Cave’s performances remain memorable for a long time.
Over more than four decades of creativity, Nick Cave has become one of the brightest figures in contemporary music. His music combines dark poetic lyrics, intense dramaturgy, and powerful emotional tension.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Cave was considered a post-punk icon; in the 2000s, he established himself as a leader of the alternative rock scene. In the 21st century, his music became even more introspective and universal, encompassing both grand compositions with an orchestra and minimalist, sensitive performances.
The discography of “Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds” is extensive, and each stage reflects a constant creative search and the ability to speak interestingly about universal and ordinary human experiences – love, loss, and faith.
