Nick Cave Solo | Accompanied by Colin Greenwood

Second date added for Nick Cave in Sigulda

Due to overwhelming fan demand, a second Nick Cave performance has been added at the Sigulda Medieval Castle. The first show sold out within hours, resulting in a deal with the artist'smanagement for an additional date on August 13th.

Instrumentally stripping performance down to piano and bass guitar (Colin Greenwood from Radiohead), ca. in 2h30min Cave will allow us to approach even closer to the message of his long career's masterpieces.

These two exclusive solo concerts will be the only ones in the Baltics. Tickets for the additional date are available at www.bilesuserviss.lv starting Monday, February 3rd, 10.00am.

It is a real pleasure and pride to host Nick Cave on piano and Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood in the magical atmosphere of Sigulda Castle Ruins, who promise a special performance full of emotion, atmosphere and transcendence, covering Cave's extensive and long-lasting oeuvre.

When describing Cave's solo performance in the US, the press there does not skimp on epithets:

“Nothing short of a spiritual experience” – LA Magazine

“Compelling and magnetic” – Forbes

“Nick Cave + Colin Greenwood = magic”  - Scenestar

“His songs are just so engaging; this setting presents them in their sparse, purest, and rawest power” – US Rocker

Perhaps best known as lead singer and songwriter with the band Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Nick Cave’s artistic output is as ever-evolving as it is prolific. With a creative career that spans over four decades, Cave has worked across a diverse number of disciplines as a solo and collaborative musician, film score composer, author, screenwriter, and writer of his weekly blog “The Red Hand Files,” and more recently as a ceramic artist.

Full of intensity and lyrical depth, Cave's unique signature sound captivates the audience with the dark aesthetic of the lyrics and intense stage presence. Content-wise, he tries to discuss such fundamental values ​​as death, religion, love and violence. Musically, his work is classified in such a wide range from post-punk and goth to art and experimental rock.

The collaboration between Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood and Nick Cave began in 2022, when the first one joined Cave and Warren Ellis's band on the Australian leg of their tour. Next he joined Cave's North American tour in September 2023. Last year, Greenwood contributed bass on The Bad Seeds' “Wild God” album and filled in for the band's original bassist Martyn Casey during his illness.

Outside of music, Colin Greenwood is passionate about photography, and one of his achievements available to the wider public is the book "How to Disappear: A Portrait of Radiohead", published in the fall of 2024, comprising his photographs of bandmates taken between 2003 and 2016.
