The band's last studio album was 2024's 'Wild God'

Nick Cave has revealed that Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are currently spending time in the studio with the possibility of creating a new album.

The band released their latest studio album Wild God in 2024, marking their 18th full length record. Now, after two years, it appears the group are beginning to think about what could come next.

Cave shared the update this week through his The Red Hand Files blog while responding to a fan question about his sleep routine.

While explaining that he usually sleeps in two separate three hour stretches, Cave mentioned that after waking up and putting on a suit, he heads out to work. “This morning, I am going to Islington to mess around in the studio,” he wrote, referring to sessions alongside fellow Bad Seeds members Martyn P. Casey, Thomas Wydler, Jim Sclavunos and Warren Ellis.

The group are also expected to appear at several major summer festivals including Mad Cool Festival 2026, NOS Alive 2026, Best Kept Secret 2026, Montreux Jazz Festival 2026, Open'er Festival 2026 and Øya Festival 2026. Earlier this year, they also toured across Australia and New Zealand.

Meanwhile, Cave recently appeared on Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ debut solo album Honora alongside Thom Yorke of Radiohead. He also recorded a new version of Red Right Hand for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

A career spanning anthology dedicated to late Bad Seeds member Conway Savage has also been announced and is set for release on July 17.

NME gave ‘Wild God’ four stars in 2024, writing: “Bad Seeds records are infamously loaded with gothic doom and gloom. Of course, this ain’t a poptastic LOLfest, and still coloured with the many shades of a life so challenging and weathered. But never has Cave been so freewheelin’ than on the giddy ‘Frogs’, “Jumping for love and the opening sky above” as “Kris Kristofferson walks by kicking a can in a shirt he hasn’t washed for years“. With a lust for life, the once-dark prince is letting the light in.”
