Nick Cave 在布萊頓屋頂帶來驚喜即興演奏！

Nick Cave, the well-known Australian singer, gave his fans a huge surprise by performing a rooftop concert in Brighton. On Friday morning, Cave and his band, The Bad Seeds, appeared on the balcony of Resident Music, a popular record shop in The Lanes area of Brighton. The street below was packed with fans who had come to see the unexpected show. Cave has lived in Brighton for over twenty years, having moved there in 1999, so the city holds a special place in his heart. The band played several of their own songs, as well as a cover of a T-Rex song, which delighted the crowd. Cave shouted to the audience below, 'Thank you, Brighton - what a thing to be doing,' showing his excitement and gratitude for the warm welcome.

Cave's wife Susie and his son Earl watched the performance from the sidelines, making the event even more personal. The band ended their set with a singalong version of 'Papa Won't Leave You, Henry,' a track from their 1992 album 'Henry's Dream. ' After finishing the show, Cave thanked the crowd and Resident Records, calling it 'the best record shop in the world. ' He also told fans, 'See you tonight,' hinting at the big open-air concert scheduled for later that evening at Preston Park.

To make the day even more special, Cave recorded a 'Welcome to Brighton Station' message for fans arriving by train. Hundreds of Bad Seeds fans had queued for hours when early bird tickets for the concert went on sale back in September 2025. The Preston Park concert will feature other acts, including US psychedelic rockers The Flaming Lips, indie band English Teacher, Welsh singer-songwriter Cate Le Bon, and post-punk group Warmduscher. Additionally, Brighton's Duke of York's Picturehouse cinema will screen five films chosen by Cave during the weekend. Fans can follow BBC Sussex for updates and send their story ideas to the station. The city is buzzing with excitement over Nick Cave's surprise rooftop show and the upcoming concert, making it a memorable weekend for music lovers.
