Colin Greenwood to play Nick Cave's European solo dates
Colin Greenwood will be the only musician on stage with Nick Cave on the 13 European solo concerts Cave announced on 27 January for June to August. It is just the two of them, Cave at the piano and Colin on bass, the format they took to Australia last April. Colin also played bass on parts of the Wild God album, and stood in for Martyn Casey in the Bad Seeds on its tour.
The run opens at Theater 11 in Zurich in June and ends at the Ancient Theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, on 19 August, after seven countries. Tickets go on general sale on Friday 31 January at 10am local time.
