Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds announce Lykke Li and Bleech 9:3 as special guests for Dublin gig

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds have announced Lykke Li and Bleech 9:3 as special guests for their Malahide Castle gig on June 10.

Lykke Li is a Swedish singer, songwriter, model and actress. Her music blends elements of indie pop, dream pop and electro pop. Li's debut studio album, Youth Novels, was released in 2008 and has been followed by Wounded Rhymes (2011), I Never Learn (2014), So Sad So Sexy (2018), Eyeye (2022), and The Afterparty (2026). She is best known for her single, 'I Follow Rivers'.

Bleech 9:3 are an emerging Dublin-born, London-based alt-grunge band known for their 90s-infused, heavy, and raw sound. Founded in 2024 by vocalists/guitarists Barry Quinlan and Sam Duffy—who met in an AA meeting—Bleech 9:3 explore themes of addiction, sobriety, and existential longing in their music.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds formed in Melbourne in 1983 and have released 18 studio albums. Their 1994 track 'Red Right Hand' was used as the theme song for Peaky Blinders.

The band has received a number of awards, including an ARIA Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album for Push the Sky Away in 2013 and the 2014 Ivor Novello Award for Best Album for songwriting for the same album.

The 2016 documentary One More Time with Feeling, which covered Cave's experience recording the band's sixteenth studio album Skeleton Tree following the death of his 15-year-old son Arthur, was nominated for a Grammy.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds released their live album Live God on December 5, 2025.

The 18-track album, dubbed "an antidote to despair” by Cave, includes 2024's Wild God in its entirety and a number of the group's biggest hits, including ‘From Her To Eternity’, ‘Papa Won’t Leave You, Henry’ and ‘Into My Arms’.
