Get ready for a Sage Cave-in

- By SIMON MEECHAN

NICK Cave is set to perform in Gateshead when the rocker brings his ‘Conversati­ons’ tour to the UK.

The tour sees Cave play a selection of his hits on piano and take questions from fans in between songs.

The 61–year–old Bad Seeds frontman sold out his ‘Conversati­ons’ run through New Zealand and his native Australia, and has now announced he is bringing the show to Europe.

Cave calls the tour “an exercise in connectivi­ty,” adding: “I thought that a direct conversati­on with the audience might be valuable in the recent live shows we have all shown a kind of willingnes­s to open up.”

The Q&A is “unfiltered, unscripted and unmoderate­d”.

The tour calls at Sage Gateshead on Saturday, May 23. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday. To buy tickets, head to Sage Gateshead’s ticketing website.
