Nick Cave has announced a 25-date North American return of “Conversations With Nick Cave: An Evening of Talk and Music,” beginning April 9, 2027, in Vancouver and ending May 21 in New Orleans. The shows will pair audience questions with piano-accompanied performances; artist presale registration and ticket-sale dates have been announced.
Nick Cave will take “Conversations With Nick Cave: An Evening of Talk and Music” back on the road for 25 North American dates in spring 2027, bringing his audience-question format and piano performances to theaters from Vancouver on April 9 to New Orleans on May 21. The announcement sets out the itinerary and ticket-sale schedule for a show that combines unscripted questions with Cave performing his songs.
The tour opens at Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver and concludes at Saenger Theatre in New Orleans. Stops include Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Washington, Asheville, Atlanta, Nashville and Memphis. Several cities have two scheduled performances, including Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Toronto, Boston and Brooklyn.
According to the announcement reported by Consequence, the performances will feature Cave answering unvetted questions from the audience and playing his songs accompanied by piano. The format is presented as a one-man show rather than a Bad Seeds concert. The schedule lists 25 performances across 19 city stops, with dates from April 9 through May 21.
An artist ticket presale is scheduled to begin Wednesday, November 11, at 10 a.m. local time and run through Thursday, November 12, at 10 p.m. local time. Fans can register for presale access, according to the report. General public sales are set to begin Friday, November 13, at 10 a.m. local time. Buyers should check the relevant venue or ticket seller for availability and any sale terms.
A Return to Cave’s Audience Q&A
The tour gives North American audiences another chance to see a format that differs from Cave’s band performances: conversation with the audience sits alongside live music, with questions described as unvetted. That structure makes each night dependent in part on what attendees ask, rather than on a set concert program alone.
Cave said the earlier run had a personal impact on him. “Those nights became deeply healing for me,” he said in a press release, adding that he hoped the audience felt the same. That is his description of the experience, not a claim about how every attendee responded. For fans, the announcement also provides an opportunity to hear Cave discuss questions directly while he performs songs on piano.
The breadth of the itinerary matters for ticket buyers: the run includes major venues in western, central and eastern North America, as well as stops across Canada. The announced dates offer a clear window to plan for the shows, though the source material does not provide ticket prices, seating details or venue-specific sale information.

From 2019 Shows to 2027
Cave is reviving the format after it proved popular in 2019, according to the report. He described that earlier period as a tour across the United States in which he stepped onto stages and fielded questions. The 2027 announcement extends that concept to a new itinerary spanning both the United States and Canada.
The show also connects with The Red Hand Files, Cave’s question-and-answer project, which began in 2018. Through that project, people submit questions directly to him and he responds. The stage show brings a related exchange into a live setting, while adding piano performances of his songs.
Cave’s latest release identified in the report is 2025’s “Live God,” which captured performances from his 2024 and 2025 tour with the Bad Seeds, during the period when they supported the album “Wild God.” The announced 2027 dates, by contrast, are specifically billed as “Conversations With Nick Cave,” not as a Bad Seeds tour.
““Years ago, in a peculiar state of mind, I travelled across the US, stepped onto stages in different cities, and fielded questions from the audience.””
— Nick Cave, in a press release
Ticket Details Still Pending
The announced dates and sale windows are available, but the source material does not specify ticket prices, seat availability, presale access requirements, or whether additional dates will be added. Those details may vary by venue and ticket seller. The report says fans can register for artist presale access but does not provide further terms in the supplied information.
The precise content of each performance is also not set out.

No guest performers or other tour participants are identified.

Prospective attendees should verify timing and availability with the ticket seller serving their chosen venue.
