Release Athens is extremely happy to welcome the iconic Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, one of the most exciting and mesmerizing live acts in the world, on Wednesday, June 15th2022, at Plateia Nerou for the first worldwide tour after four years that will see them headlining the biggest music festivals in Europe.
Sub-headliners, the mighty Mogwai after another critically acclaimed record (As The Love Continues) with Fontaines D.C. (one the best new bands of the last few years) at the supporting slot.
The Bad Seeds were created in 1982, after the disbandment of the renowned Birthday Party and since then they have released seventeen studio albums and sold more than five million copies around the world. The Bad Seeds have earned the respect and recognition of both fans and music critics and continue to amaze the audience every time they step on stage.
With classic songs like "Red Right Hand", "Tupelo", "The Mercy Seat", "The Weeping Song", "Do You Love Me?", "Straight To You" and "Jubilee Street", Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have created unforgettable tales about love, gloom, loss and fear.
On the night of June 15th, we’ll experience another unforgettable and lengthy concert from one of the best live acts in the world
Sub-headliners, the great Mogwai from Glasgow. Twenty-five years after their debut album, the Scottish group are now considered one of the best post-rock acts in the world that keeps getting better with every new release.
Their latest record, As The Love Continues, was hailed as one the best releases of 2021 while at the same time reached the top of the UK Chart and entered Billboard’s Top10! A confirmation and a justification of the band’s never-ending consistency and will to transcend musical genres.
As mentioned in the press: “As with the case of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, every new studio album from Mogwai is considered as the best of their career”. Those two sharing the stage on the night of June 15th, makes it a can’t-miss bill for every music fan.
Sharing the stage, one of the hottest new bands of the last few years, the Irish Fontaines. D.C. Formed in Dublin in 2017 and inspired by bands like Joy Division, Fall and The Wire, Fontaines D.C. were quickly recognized as one the best post punk bands of this era. With their third record in less than four years about to be released, we’re extremely happy to host a band ready to make the next step both artistically and commercially.
