The solo concert – without an audience – by living legend NICK CAVE at ALEXANDRA PALACE in London filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic is planned to premiere 23rd July. He just shared a trailer for the movie featuring him reading a poem in voice over
as we see him sitting at a piano.

Nick Cave revealed how the project came about: “Idiot Prayer evolved from my Conversations With… events. I loved playing deconstructed versions of my songs at these
shows, distilling them to their essential forms – with an emphasis on the delivery of the words.
I started to think about going into a studio and recording these reimagined versions. Then the world went into lockdown. The Bad Seeds’ global 2020 tour was postponed. Studios shut down. Venues shut down. The world fell into an eerie, self-reflective silence. It was within this silence that I began to think about the idea of not only recording the songs but also filming them. ”
