Nick Cave Plots 2023 “Faith, Hope and Carnage” Book Tour

Nick Cave is celebrating the paperback release of his latest book with a stretch of special appearances across the U.S. this fall. Beginning on September 23, the rock singer/songwriter will stop by local bookstores for curated conversations and signings of his 2022 memoir, Faith, Hope and Carnage.

Co-author and journalist Sean O’Hagan will join Cave in New York City to discuss their book, which looks back at the award-winning artist’s decades-long career. Written during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Faith, Hope and Carnage also unveils Cave’s beliefs about religion, life, and the importance of creating art.

The appearances will coincide with Cave’s previously announced solo tour, which takes the 65-year-old talent across the U.S. and Canada through the end of October. Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood will perform alongside Cave for the trek, which wraps up with three performances at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.
