ROCK star Nick Cave is set to play a south coast date this year.

The Australian-born singer will play at Bournemouth International Centre with his band the Bad Seeds in support of their latest album Skeleton Tree.

The critically-acclaimed album was released last year and the UK tour follows shows in the USA and Canada.

The album was accompanied by the release of documentary film One More Time With Feeling, which focuses on the recording of the album and the death of Cave's son Arthur, who fell from a cliff near Brighton in 2015.

Tickets for the BIC show, which is on September 24, go on sale at www.nickcave.com at 9am on Friday, February 17.
