Conversations with Nick Cave

An evening of talk and music

Nick Cave on stage with a microphone, a piano in front of him

The prolific musician, singer and songwriter opens up to his audience in this intimate conversation event.

Beginning his career in Melbourne’s post-punk scene, Cave and his band relocated to Europe in the 1980s where he forged a career as a pioneer for alternative rock. Despite the openness of his work – raw subject matter, personal experience and themes of life and death – his shows have never been as intimate as this.

Describing the evening as ‘an exercise in connectivity’, and where the audience are encouraged to be bold and challenging, Cave will take questions from the audience on all manner of subjects and perform some of his most beloved songs on piano.
