Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds live in Puck County

Experience Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds live on July 2nd

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are scheduled to perform at Open’Er Festival in 2026. The band is known for a darkly atmospheric and intensely dramatic musical style, evolving from post-punk roots into a sound incorporating elements of blues, gothic rock, and experimental music. Cave’s lyrical content often explores themes of love, death, religion, and violence, delivered with a distinctive narrative intensity.

Open’Er Festival is an annual music festival held in Gdynia (though the 2026 edition is located in Puck County), Poland. Established in 2002, it has grown to become one of the largest open-air festivals in Europe, attracting international artists and a diverse audience. The festival typically features a broad range of genres including rock, indie, electronic, and hip-hop.

The 2026 location change to Puck County represents a shift from the festival's traditional venue at Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport. Organizers cite the need for increased space and improved facilities as motivations for this move. Open’Er is recognized for its commitment to sustainability and its efforts to minimize environmental impact through various initiatives.
